This is where I'm at so far. Got the valve train mocked up and the stock pushrods are too long. Probably longer cam followers and a bit more lift on the #73 cam vs. stock. I'll deal with that on the weekend.
I did manage to pickup some Bus hydraulic solid spacers for the rocker assy. That will make me feel a heck of a lot better than with springs. Back to the 911 adjusters. I've got lash caps, but no room for them, if I use them at all. From what I've read, the gap on this setup can be pretty tight. We'll see how it goes. Oh yeah, and I did pick up that '74 Aubergine (Eggplant) this week. Drives and everything. I'll post some pics on the weekend. What a pretty color for this car. Needs a wet sand and buff out.

Looks like you need another try at the valve train geometry. Are you TRYING to use a stock pushrod??? The web 73 is a mild cam, but one of the harder ones to gain full lift from and maintain proper half lift parameters to keep the valvetrain alive.
You will need to deck the face of your rockers .060, grab an adjustable pushrod and start doing the process. I did a build up with VW Trends last year and showed this in an entire article one month, step by step on a TIV engine. Should be informative for you. |
