Hey guys!
another q i have about pulleys:
do they have to have a tight fit on the crank?
i know with my equaliser i can slide it over the crank with ease...
Is it a real berg pulley? or one of the black copies,I know that some of the black copies are not machined to a tight enough tolerance and are loose on the crank  cheers richie,uk |

did a ittle work on the fan shroud today... cut off the snorkels and cut patches to weld in... i am keeping the internal vanes as they were to keep it as original as possible i read on the samba that blocking the snorkels with freeze plugs with a 1.5" hole in them mimics the original backpressure in the shroud i removed the snorkels , so i will weld in the patches and make hole in them.. hope it will work ok  |

i m gonna aim it to the left to be a little different If you leave the muffler purple and your header is orange, I don't think it matters what direction you point the muffler, you will be different. BTW Glass packs kick ass, good choice  |

I used CB's last time around and they fit tight like Bergs. Not loosey-goosey like Scat.

I've got a set of CBs right now and they fit snug, butt not a press fit like the Berg's. I can pull them off with a pair of pliers. They don't require the force of two mating elephants.

Oh yeah, i forgot to say: pics were take at half lift, so 7 mm ; adjusters line up with the pushrods , and the rocker touches the lash cap just in the middle. wow the first thing that bolts on without headaches about the placement of the rockers now... i know they have to be set up with an offset to make the valves spinning, but how much? heres a pic of how they are set up now: anyway thanks for all the help i allready got, without you, i could not have done it, and lets keep our fingers crossed that it stays together |

all, assuming the valve locks[keepers] arent touching each other completely?then the valve will not spin anyway so you are worrying about nothing This is the way i understand it,someone correct me if I am wrong? but I try to get the rocker in the middle of the lash cap for maximum contact and dont worry about anything else cheers richie |

Thanks again for the help, now that you mention that, it makes sence that the valves can not spin i thought i learned that at school a long time ago.. i guess not then and i checked that the keepers dont touch each other, so thats OK as well i ll reshim the rockers now, in order to get a full contact |

hey guys ,
shimmed the rockers today,
and they are now centered on the lash cap; but the inlet rockers are not shimmed at both sides;
only the side of the rocker stand is shimmed and the side of the shaft ( where the shaft becomes thicker in the middle) the rocker just rides against it...
dunno if it is a problem or not?
