Shaved heads - Shimming required?
 
I am installing some ported stock ET7E's on my 5.0 which have been shaved .030. I just ordered some Omega 1.6 roller rockers as well and a set of springs to go with my Trick Flow Stage 1 cam.

My question is, do I need to shim the rockers since the heads have been shaved? If so, where do I get the shims?

Also, is there anything else I need to do other than check my piston to valve clearance that I may be unaware of?

Thanks.

I just found out they are adjustable. And supposedly, they are the only adjustable pedestal mount rockers made. I guess I got lucky =)

Now, how do you adjust them? They are used so they won't be coming with instructions.

Thanks.

Comp cams. makes adjustable pedestal mount rockers as well. Adjustment is self explanatory, youll see it once you have the rockers in front of you.

I can probably figure out "where" you adjust them, but how do you adjust them for the setup? I mean, how do I know how much to tighten them down?
