: .080 is plenty of coil clearance.
: The only other possible point of

: P.J., what brand of roller rockers do
: you
: have? I assume by "holes
: down" you are referring to the
: rocker shaft and the oil holes in it?
: My recollection is the orientation of
: that shaft is set by the lock screw
: (philips head) in the rear pedestal
: that screws into the shaft, and thus
: the oil feed holes through the head
: into the rear pedestal and then the
: shaft are correctly aligned.
: Question - have you confirmed you have
: good oil flow to the rear pedestal,
: though either the block passage, or an
: auxiliary oil line from the main galley
: to the tap in the left rear of the
: head? Usually the concern with these
: aux lines is too much oil flow.
: Assume you confirmed the shaft was
: clear of obstructions by blowing air
: through it before you installed?
: Hardened shaft?

: Hi Scott. When I bought these you told
: me they were Harlan Sharp rockers
: 1.45:1 ratio.
: I have confirmed that there is good oil
: flow through the aux. line at the back
: of the engine. I primed the engine by
: drill prior to initial startup. You are
: correct about the Phillips screw that
: locates the shaft so I suspect that it
: was located in the proper orientation
: .. The shaft was Tialn coated and is
: very hard and therefore undamaged..
: Is it possible that I could be
: experiencing coil bind with the valve
: springs?? Nothing seams abnormal and
: there is about .080 between the coils
: at full lift but I don't know what
: there should be for sure..Thanks P.J.
