checker valve springs Tonight I stopped by Autozone and Advanced quick before they closed. I asked both stores if they had light checker valve springs and they both looked at me like 
. Then I was like 
. I explained them being used for checking P/V clearance, rocker wipe, etc. They still were like Am I not saying something right? I can't believe a parts store doesn't carry something so "elementary." O'reilly's was already closed tonight... maybe they will have a clue. I was kinda wanting them for this weekend so I was hoping they would have them.

I got some springs from home depot that I'm using as checker springs. My ultralites came with a set of shims that I used to set the wipe pattern.

I read another post which talked about shimming rockers for wipe pattern using test springs. Should this be done with stock rockers?
