spacer does not equal shim. Terry is working on fitting them under a stock valvecover (SPACER). They are adjustable, so in normal applications, you will need no SHIM.

Im still very interested in one issue that I have had with ever shaft rocker except the Jesels->

Do you need to elongate the pushrod hole in the head to use these (and therefor take the heads off the car)?

If they fit under the stock valvecovers, and do not have any of the quality issues that other rockers have had, they're a steal at that price, IMO.

I'd be willing to bet they are going to need 3/8 or 1/2" spacers to enable them to fit under the stock valve cover. You would need to use ARP nuts that had been milled down to 1/2 the height to allow them to fit under the stock valve covers without spacers. Even than you would need to grind the covers out. Pretty easy though.

Didn't he just say that no spacers where needed? I believe he would know. He is doing the R&D work.
