The shims are there to correct the valvetrain geometry, that is where the rocker arm contacts the valve. This is necesisary to compensate for differences in deck height between the cylinders. Essentially, what's required is after you have established the correct deck height of the cylinders, and the cases and heads are torqued, you run the adjustment screw about halfway through the rocker (or whatever dimension is called out in the overhaul manual), install and torque the rocker arms and then check to see where the rocker arm pad contacts on the top of the valve. The contact point should be in the center of the valve. Shim the rocker stand as required or "adjust" the pushrod length to obtain the best contact region on all of the valves on that head. Repeat the process on the opposite head. --- bgd...@vvm.com wrote: My question, when I took the thing > apart there were > shims under the rockers.
