It looks like the heads had a lot shaven off the bottom. Before I gave the machinist my Heads, there was no material shaved off the part numbers in the recesses on the bottom of the heads, but now the part numbers are partially shaven off. It seems like that's gotta be about a sixteenth of an inch milled off.
So, how much do I need to turn all the rocker arm adjusters counterclockwise before I install the rocker shafts on the heads. If I install the rocker shafts without backing the adjusters off, will there be a danger of bending some of the push rods???
