I am going to be dissasembling a motor I would like to toy with a budget in mind.
I would like to deck the heads a litte (I will shave the intake if I need to) to help with compression. Yet these heads are the non-adjustable positive stop rocker kind. (where it uses a shouldered stud to run the rocker down to, then torque to 17-23 ft/lbs.)
If I deck the heads, do I need to get different pushrods? Remember, without putting screw-in studs I cant adjust the rockers, as they are non-adjustable. Or could a guy just try and shim the bottom of the rocker, with a shim that is the same thickness as the amount of head deck that was removed?
