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. Even screwed all the way out, they nearly touch the stems. If I use a thicker shim I am afraid I won't have enough threads for the rocker arm nuts. ( can I back the studs out?) will standard adjusters give me more adjustment? Where is the best graphical description of adjusting the geometry? I don't have a dial indicator so if there is another way to do it, that'd be great.
