Hi Kath. The roller should sit in the centre of the valve stem at half lift. If you bought a small bore 1.3 setup then you will need to shim the exhaust rockers away from the pedestal. Pedestal shimming is usually done after decking the block and head. This machining effectively lengthens the pushrods and can put your rockers at an angle. If you are using a reground cam then you will get some of the original height back. If setup wrong the tip of the rocker will move to the edge of the valve stem at full lift and wear out the valve and guide faster. Brad |
