does it need to spin freely when its installed.. i found an imperfection in the P&P.. i beleive this might be a common one.

the shaftgoes in smoothly until i hit this "imperfection" then i have to push hard. its on the intake and exhaust both. would i need to have this thing sanded down. or is it ok cuz the shaft doesnt move.

thanx

Looks like you should be ok, as long as the shaft will go through it! Whom did the P&P ?

good luck, eric

 

alaniz tech did it...

when i slide it through.. it wont "spin"..

doesnt the rocker shaft have oil spouts or somthing. i oiled the rocker shaft and it made it easier to go in.

edit: think i may have answered my own Q. thats what the oil orfices (or whatever they are called) are used for. they line up with the hole on the shaft so the shaft doesnt move..

rocker shaft is NOT supposed to spin

those holes just hold the shaft, doesnt have to be perfect

 

thanx guys.. i put my whole head together just to see how it looks.. looks good. i just need to check clearance on a couple of places.

 

Make sure you put the pins in that lock the rocker shaft from spinning. BTW, the pins are side specific.

 

yah, the oil orfices or whatever they are called.

 

could I see more pics of the head all done ?
thanks

 

yah, ill try to snap a few..

 

More pics =
