do you usually shim when you use bbm heads with hs rockers on the average build?

[blykins]

Yes, I pretty much shim with every combo, except for TFS heads.

i bend a pushrod now and then.i bet my rockers need shimmed.i have no threads showing on the bottom of my adjusters.its almost binding.shimming would give me a little more room at this spot.im interested,and 1 piece shims sound good

Samples just showed up.   Give me a bit to check them out on a set of heads and I'll let you guys know how soon we can get some.   With the holidays it would probably be a couple weeks from this point.  I do see one thing right off the bat that needs to change......I oil so many of my engines through the pushrods that I forgot to open up the stud hole that would feed the shafts in a traditional oiling setup.  That will need changed.

Samples are good.  Made a couple of adjustments and placed an order.

how much bigger are you making the oiling hole.it could be used to adjust oil flow to the rockers,if you dont go too big with it.it could eliminate the need for putting jets in the oiling hole

These have arrived and are in my hands now.

Here's what we're looking at, everything seems to fit well.  These are in "gauge" thicknesses, so the actual thicknesses are .060", .080", and .110".   Will clear ARP bolt heads and factory bolt heads.   May need slight clearancing if you're using head studs, depending on what size nuts you're using.

I have a wad here, ready to ship.

[blykins]

Still have some sets left on this order.

[blykins]

Few sets left.  Will be replenishing soon.

Brent, dumb question but why did you remove so much material for the oil transfer hole? They are lazer cut so it certainly doesn't need to be a round hole. A symmetrical oval would work on both sides and leave more material to support the rocker stand. Just an observation/suggestion you can file it straight to the trash bin

Logical question.

Before I had these made, I just used hardened steel valve spring shims, which have the large ID, then made up shims for the end stands.   That worked for years, so I just transferred that idea that worked into these.  I normally don't reinvent the wheel unless it needs to be reinvented.

In stock now.
