So I somehow misplaced the 4 washers for the ends of the rocker shafts. Anyone have any or know where I can get some? How about other options for something that will work?
I bought some thin hardened washers for my GMC rocker arm shaft to adjust the the roller tips on the valves from McMaster Carr. There are also some that fit the early Chrysler Hemi’s I bought from ***ian I believe. There is a rocker arm rebuilder and Ted, Tim, or John who rebuild these engines who probably have a spare.
call Rocker Arm Unlimited in Redding, California. I have purchased quite a few Y block rocker arm parts from them for various builds. Tell them the Hot Rod Reverend sent you http://www.rockerarms.com
Wanted to close this out. Ended up finding some stainless washers from McMaster Carr. Accidentally bought clipped washers the first time round and I didn't like how how they sit with the wave washers, I thought I was asking for trouble if I ran them like that so I reordered the unclipped versions and think I'm back in business. For what us worth I also tried some 3/4" washers I found at Home Depot but they were a lot thicker and when installed they seem to make the last rocker tighter than the rest. (I'm sure I looked like an idiot walking into home depot holding a rocker shaft to buy car parts lmao. But oh well.) Just wanted to update for some poor guy in the future who also looses his washers.
I've bought various generic hardware bits after finding a great selection at my local TruValue hardware store. They had a far more than my local NAPA which has lately become really bad.
