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)

Now for the Krustiness you've all been waiting for! Making the rocker assembly mounting studs 10mm is NOT an "update". It's just making them bigger, as Porsche (and VW) never introduced this change in later engines ...............

After you pick up a pair of rockers off the floor of the dyno room because the stock set up failed, you'll wonder why the hell the factory didn't pull their heads out of their asses and make them 8mm like everything else on the engine.

Maybe that failure won't cost you 10K bucks, but maybe it will.
