John L Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Have a look at this picture hope it helps? https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/rocker-shaft-assembly-reconditioned-214559k.html?assoc=127205 Use the centre picture a bit further down the page.

tim hunt Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Not sure the actual spacing washer positions could be seen in that picture John. I would have thought that the positions would be those that ensured that all rockers acted as centrally as possible on the valve stems. On my 4A when the valve gear was last overhauled I used some additional shimming washers to achieve this condition. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ed_h Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 They go such that the rocker tips are centered on the valve stems. A little trial and error will find the right configuration. Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AarhusTr6 Posted May 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 Hi So the washers, can vary from car to car, and with the wonder of hindsight, I should have documented the order they came off . . ?? Look at the pic, it seems to be this way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ed_h Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 Your picture seems right, but I'd be surprised if it varied from car to car. Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Look at the pic, it seems to be this way Yes, hindsight is wonderful. Whenever I dismantle something that is not self evident, e.g carburettors and linkages I take digital images for reference.

AarhusTr6 Posted May 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) I am at my cave, and starting to fit rocker assembly. The six studs, one thread is a bit longer, is this in the block or other, ie which way around do they go? I think I go for short end thread into head, please tell me if I am wrong as I cant torque it until tuesday. Thanks Richard Edited May 23, 2021 by AarhusTr6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ed_h Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Short threads into the head, though it may not make much practical difference. Ec Quote Link to post Share on other sites
