You could try the same thing with that.
Try it on one or two intakes...... see what happens.

If it were me, I’d go with adding .030 more height.

If you try that, you should install new bearings in those rockers to be sure you’re not starting out the test with a compromised set of bearings.


I have checked all the rocker arms and inspected the shafts for any sign of trouble exhausts are all fine, the other six intakes are good also, all the shafts are in perfect shape. I belive i had .070 installed height on all and don't recall using any shims, as gross lift is .867, net lift is .847 if all is perfect. I was wrong when i said what springs i have. My springs are 1228 1200 series PACs, installed at 2.050. Coil bind is 1.100.
I have very little room to increase installed height, i am maxed out with all + retainers and keepers, and thin spring cups. I will check and see what, if any room i have.
