So I'm using the zzp rocker shims. I used a black marker to color the tops of the valve stems. I installed all the rockers and did a few rotations by hand. Removed a couple rockers and they appear to be striking the center of the valve stem. You can see the spot rubbed away in the marker ink.
Without the shins they were striking too far inward towards the rocker.
So then I took it to TDC and tightened hand tight then a slight turn to snug. Repeat for all. Then turn the motor by hand a few times again just to test.
at TDC the stock pushrods still spin and one is tighter the other. But there is no play between the lifter and rocker from what I can tell.
I just want to be sure I don't need custom length rods either for just the intake or exhaus or both.
My push rod length checker was the wrong style and I didn't notice until today.
Now when I did my 1.9s and when I went back to stock rockers I don't remember these details as the heads and valves were stock
These are zzp heads with the longer valves and I swear there is a 1mm difference in height between the intake and exhaust valve stem. One just seems to sit a slight bit higher. Zzp said its the say they did the cut on the seat ?
