i've never had one of these engines to play around with but hav'nt i seen somewhere the follower setup had a version similar to the alfa sud with an adjuster screw in the cam follower? --- On Fri, 2/26/10, Greg Hermann <[email protected]> wrote:

The 2600 followers are a larger diameter than the 105's. In fact, the above statement about the adjusting shims is only HALF true. One side of a 2600 uses the same shims as a 105, the other side has valve stems which are 1 mm larger in diameter, and therefore uses different shims. Don't ask me WHICH side is larger right now, don't recall for sure, but I think it's the exhausts.
