[DeTomaso] Rocker installation

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

Henrik,
 
When I got new stainless steel valves for my stock 4V heads the intake
and exhaust valves differed slightly in length from the stock valves.
The difference was not the same on exhaust and intake. I think the
intake valves were around 1 mm longer than stock.

Hi Tomas

The heads are purchased complete with springs and valves. I can't find
any information from the supplier that mention anything special.

I plan to make an adjustable rush rod to see how much a shorter rod will
do. But it seems strange to need different length on intake and exhaust
rods?

Henrik,

Incorrect valve stem/pushrod length would cause this. Are your intake
valves special in any way?

Hi Guys



Take a look at my roller rockers

For some reason the tip of the rocker almost goes over the edge of the
valve. Look at the intake valve of cylinder 4 for example. The strange
thing is that on the exhaust valves they are centered but on all intake
they are off.



Any ideas why and what I can do?
