I don't know where all this shimming stuff comes about because my rockers have an adjuster screw right above the pushrod. I was told to just torque the pedastal bolt down, then adjust the set screw over the pushrod until the pushrod starts to feel like it's making contact, then go another 1/4 to 1/2 turn. I eyeballed the adjuster screw moving 1/4 to 1/2 turn which looked to be between .020 and .040 which is what I was told the preload should be. So, we went 1/2 turn I think. My brother did the adjusting while I watched.
Quin, I may be looking to sell the complete engine and exhaust in a couple months if you were being serious. I'd like to be able to get at least $1700 for the complete engine and the full exhaust system from the long tube headers to the cat back.
