So those in the know...how is this conversion done? I don't now the specifics so please tell me. I understand that the stock 74-76 2.0L cars use a larger-diameter adjuster and cannot accept the swivel foot adjusters because they are smaller. The needed parts as I understand it are:
* Rocker arms/shaft assemblies from a 1.7L engine * Swivel feet valve adjusters (10mm?) * Shims Is all the above correct? What shims do I need and where are they installed? Is there further machining to do to the rocker arms? All details please...Thanks in advance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached image(s)

I have a 9,000 word step by step valve train geometry article on my forums...
Its a must read. Shimming rockers is 98% of the time NOT the correct method to attain proper geometry. Read my article to find out why. I also had a Radio Show in December that went over all these things step by step! |
