[QUOTE="Big Sid, post: 40954, member: 2781"] Question for Bob . Do the adjustors contact the inside of the rocker caps when the motor is revolved , the caps screwed fully down ? If not all is well . They WILL hang up if one rotates the the motor with the caps backed off a couple of turns and this is TO BE AVOIDED as the rocker will lock up and damage things . If removing a cap and it stops unscrewing , run it back down and revolve the motor a ways when that rocker will drop eliminating that situation . All these bits come very close to each other only clearing when the caps are fully down . Of course if the pushrods are too long there WILL be problems . Also it the adjustors ride too high . The top hex can be removed or and the stub end slotted for use of a screwdriver . Or simply thinned . I did this on the Rattler to reduce weight for higher revs . Sid .
