I am finally installing my rebuilt heads into my 1915 cc engine. I have the
heads on, put in the push rods and am test fitting the rocker arms to check
geometry.
I put the shims that had been installed under the shafts originally and
there is not nearly enough room for the swivel foot adjusters.
When I did mine I made an adjustable push rod out of a stock rod. Basically
cut one in half, trim down then cut some threads and insert threaded rod with
two locking nuts.
Install the head torqued to spec. Do not install the push rods or push rod
tubes.
Install your adjustable push rod
No, stock rockers.

I'm ignorant about both. I could measure the exposed studs. If it would
help. I've tried to ask SF for engine details before, but they've been
silent. I think I'll contact Rich at RIS; he has been helpful so far.

I re-read the info from the machine shop. He thinks the original engine
builder, Strictly Foreign, didn't set up the push rod length at all and
that I need to do this. That makes sense as they are way off. So who has a
good description of measuring proper pushrod length?
BTW. RISMachine did the
Guys,
Your good old copy of How to hot rod vw's has excellent instructions on
this.
Although...if you have stock rocker arms and stock pushrods they really
should be close. Oh, stroked engine?
