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.

Hey guys, just mocking it up to see where I'm at. I don't mind the criticism, btw. Yeah I've got stock pushrods. Didn't know what the big deal was with using them. What should I use?
I think that removing material from the rocker arm will help plus a bit of a shim. I see that use of an adjustable rod will help figure out what the final rod length needs to be. Is replacing the 7mm rocker stud w/8mm that big of a deal? Thanks for the valuable second, third and 12th opinions. It's just what I need right now. The 911 adjusters are from Porsche. Steve |
