javlin 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2009 Have reassembled the rocker shafts with all the rockers, springs etc and have found the back exhaust shaft is moving back in its bearings, leaving a gap in the middle. Of course the rebates in the shaft for each head bolt dont line up or the rockers. The other three shafts were a firm fit, needed to be drifted into place. The offending one was able to be pushed in by hand. There is nothing in the book or diagrams to indicate a packer. There wasnt one anyway when I dismantled the shafts. I would guess the shaft is worn, but as it does not need to move in the head that doesnt make sense. Can I use a packer or locktite to keep it in place? Any thoughts much appreciated.
