Subject: Re: Guide plate adjustment? by WW7 on 2015/9/15 11:15:00 It depends which heads your using..With my Dart pro 1 heads it was a bitch getting the rockers set up because of the way the larger valves are set in the head...I have heard some AFR heads have this same problem...With my Dart heads you have to push the guide plates on cylinders 3,4,5,6, as far to the side as possible to get the roller tips to almost cover the valve tips..I was upset by this until I called Dart and talked to their tech guy..He told me the roller only has to cover 70% of the valve tip to function properly..He said if it bothered me I could buy offset rockers or use split guide plates for those cylinders to fix the problem...On stock heads and most aftermarket heads the rocker sits straight up and down on the head. On my Dart heads the rockers sit at an angle on those 4 cylinders and the guide plates and pushrods have to be pushed over until the pushrods all but touch the side of the push rod slot in the head, and even with doing this,the roller still doesn't cover the whole valve tip...WW.... |
