HELP needed. please
 

which is the best way to install. the opening rockers. do you install the spring with the tang inplace or put the tang under after. i am struggling at the moment. would appreciate help , as it is the first time i have done this .i know alot off you well properly able to do this with your eyes closed. i would be most grateful off any help. also hope everybody had a good xmast and wishing everybody a great new year.

If you can hold on a bit, I'm sure Nelly will be along soon to put you right.

I think he's getting his dress ready for tomorrow night :eek:

You wearing matching outfits then Rob:-)

The rocker with the spring is the closer. They aren't that easy, especially if the head is still in situ.
The easiest way, is to fit the rocker and shaft with the spring in place then lever the tang into place. Make sure you get the tang under the casting, not one of the other rocker shafts.
Access is made easier by removing the adjacent opening rocker and shaft and lowering the valve out of the way. move the piston close to to TDC to stop it falling through the head.
It's the access that makes the job difficult. The inlets are easiest, front exhaust is awkward, rear exhaust is a nightmare with the head in place.

I thought I told you not to mention that :rolleyes: anyway its a good job we're not going out (party at mine) we'd get mistaken for the Sugarbabes or sumat :o

;) ;)

thanks .mate yes i meant the closer. thanks again.

nelly am i best removing the back shock to do the the ex rockers. ave no problem doing openers just them closers. thanks for taking your time to help. have a good new year .

To be honest, if i was doing the rear exhaust, i'd take the head off!!
The access is real tight. It could take hours. It's not the shock that masks the access completely, it's the frame.
