I set my 1224's at .050". However this is before lash so running closer to .070" Dwayne are you talking running coil bind after lash?
Doug
I can see where setting them up with more than .050 clearace AFTER lash could be real important, especially if a motor doesn't have really thick pushrods or it has marginal springs allowing valve loft to happen. As each coil goes solid the spring rate for the remainder of lift must go throught the roof.
You are just hurting rockers and not lifters?
I'm a big fan of bushings. Needle bearings hate shock loading and they hate reciprocating loads.
The biggest issue with bushings on the shaft is getting enough oil at the shafts with enough pressure to lube the bushing. You aren't going to run 20-30 pounds of hot idle oil pressure and keep the rockers off the shafts.
