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!

QUOTE Who wrote it? Some asshole. Reviving this thread. Many thanks Jake for the solid info here. So, here's my question - I've got 10mm adjusting screws. I'd love to switch out to Porsche style swivel feet. I've found some older threads and a reference to a german shop that makes them (I've emailed in my best high school german... ) but would be very interested in other opinions / options. Quick rundown on my rig: Originally 1.7, now a 2.0. Race only Heads welded and ported with 48/38 valves. Webcam 86B cam Euro pistons IDF 44's (ported manifolds to match heads) headers A bunch of other racer balancing and lightening specs. Engine was built by AJRS I've replaced the pushrods with fresh chrome moly's and am going through the set up now to confirm geometry. TIA for additional input. -C |
