A while back I complained of the Shadow smoking badly. Personal circumstances prevented me getting to it straight away. So as part of my plan to cure the issue I purchased four new rocker arms, pins, locking rocker feed bolts, and ET26/2 Extra Long Rocker Bearings. They arrived over the Xmas holiday. Obviously "some assembly required" as with most Xmas presents. Trying to do a dry fit of all the components it became apparent that I needed to enlarge the feed bolt hole from 5/16" to 3/8" to receive the trapped nut and I will then need to produce a slight counter sink for the oil feed holes in the bearing. But what direction does the extended length go? Towards the valve or towards the push rod? I've searched the forum and caught a passing mention that it is towards the push rod, but nothing definitive. Using an undersized 1/2" transfer punch as makeshift rocker pin to look at the assembly it makes sense that the extra length is towards the push rod, but I would like to hear from someone who has actually fitted them.
Thanks
