Stock rocker arm wipe? All,
Any chance someone has checked their stock rocker arm wipe? If so, what did it look like (i.e. how wide, centered?, etc). Any pics by any chance?
TIA,
Need new sig here for new motor.....

I checked mine when I was setting up my heads, they are in a box. Some wiped on the side and the wipe pattern was very wide. Shimming helped, but I question the valve train stability with shims. I installed a set of Crane 1.7's instead. I have also just been PM'ing with someone on CF and he found the same thing. Its probably acceptable for stock spring pressures and the hardened stock valve guides, but bronze valve guides and high aftermarket spring pressures really make me question their use.
