Valve Train Time, Raby article now posted with permission Options

[OU8AVW]

Next step for me is setting up my valve train geometry. I searched the web and the World and now I have enough information to know that I need more information. I see a few references to an article Jake had on his now extinct forums. The Facebook page is pretty vast. Can someone point me to this article? I think that's my first step toward comming up with more intelegent questions.

FYI: I'm building a 2056 based on a late case.
I have Jake's 9550 cam installed
I have swivel feet adjusters mounted on 1.7 rockers with solid spacers
I am using SS valves and chromoloy push rods
I installed 8x10 rocker studs
I have used .065" of shim on the cylinders with no head gasket

Thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Anyone have an adjustable pushrod I can use? I can manage everything else.

It's important that the adjustable pushrod you use have the same ends as the pushrods you are using, like some have different sized balls, some are like nubby cones, etc - It affects how far into the cups of the rockers it will go and ultimately affects how long they need to be - Jake used to sell one that was made out of a Manton pushrod.
