Sending 4 thin spring washers and 2 thicker ones, that's all I have.
I recommend you source others as I am sure that you'll need more to space them out.
Cheers Peter i have others too that came off standard shafts.I recommend you source others as I am sure that you'll need more to space them out.
Reckon i will just have enough.
With a quick check set up this is what i have.
The rocker adjusters wound down flush with the nut.
Leaves my pushrods adjusted to this height. There is a good 12mm tread depth into the rod.

why do you need to run adjustable pushrods when you've got adjustable rockers?
Because the Chevy lifters use a smaller ball stud cup and in the kit you get both Chevy and RV8 choices to use but only at one end, Peter I never told you to run the push-rods inverted you was told to though or that was what you had fitted but turned out not to be yours are the same way up has Derek and I Only just seen this thread. Good to see you building another RV8 and not given up and gone down the LS route. Looks like it has a great spec, hopefully no more issues now you have forged internals. I must admit most of the technical stuff goes over my head but enjoying reading and learning.
Keep the pictures coming looks great so far. Hopefully see you at the Pod this year, I feel another side by side run to demonstrate the power of the new engine vs standard TVR 500.

Your flying on this build...well done
What your plans on the nitrous then ??
Feels like its taking forever. What your plans on the nitrous then ??
Want the engine in tomorrow, fired up and bedding the cam on Thursday then will bed the pistons on Dales rollers Friday.
Going to try a 3 stage set up.
100 bhp at full throttle, 70 bhp also at full throttle but with a microswitch preventing operation in 1st gear, then 50 on the steering wheel button just in case.

Are those studs on the lower, have you slotted all the the lower bolt holes on the manifold. What head bolts are those. Questions questions questions, I know. One day i wll be able to answer something
Yes studs with slots. Much easier to remove and fit whilst in the car.ARP head studs Barrie, you need these in yours along with decent head gaskets. The composite Elrings are good but may not take the boost you have for too long.
