Under the valves, I use fender horseshoe shims.Work the same but yours are cheaper. Are the tappets adjustable?

rcranger · 05-03-2012, 02:43 PM

no been debating if i should buy them

rcranger · 05-03-2012, 02:46 PM

everything i read said to compress the spring and take out the keeper figured there had to be an easier way

The head is interesting without any relief for the pistons. Wonder what sort of popup you have and what brand and thickness head gasket you are using? Gar Williams

Getting ready for a B cam!!! You will probably need adjustable lifters because B lifters are longer than a lifters. With A lifters, non adjustable, you will probably have too much gap.

Buy the adjustables, your life will be more peaceful. That A is going to be really fun now.

Model A lifters are about 1/32" shorter than B lifters.Go with the self locking adjustables as they are much easier to adjust.Ford specs on valve clearance are INT .010-.013 EX .020-.022 for B cams.Make sure the lifters will hold their adj. Model A valve clearance is INT .010-.013 EX .015-.017.
