Jim,
I am working on eliminating all the rocker shaft springs on a couple
of my motors. I plan to get some hard steel shims for the ends, where
the shaft pins reside, and a carefully measured and cut aluminum tube
between the two inside rockers.
This will positivly locate each rocker, without added spring or friction.
I figure on about .005" clearance for each rocker, this sound fair?
