Default shimming rockers
Can someone tell me how to do this with stock rockers? And where to get the shims...

Thanks

I would put them underneath the pedastal rail (or whatever its called that all the rockers sit on) then torque them down to spec.

Jay at absolute told me to get 5/16 washers from the hardware store and silicone them on to the pedistal and torque them like you would the stockers. 22ft lb.

The shims are a Ford Motorsports item. I bet Jason or Jeff can get you some.
