The above picture is using a stroke checker and a modified spring checker to find a out when each spring goes into coil bind. Install all hardware on the head, measure with a height mike, subtract valve lift, and add shims. Piece of cake.

Thanks Ken

I’ve forgotten who told me this years ago, It’s just a math problem and try to get the numbers to like each other.

At the PRI show I purchased every height micrometer that PAC sells. I thought I had all the bases covered, not so. The new Hemi is a little different from anything out there. To make a long story short I had to find an adapter in a piece of bar stock. It works well. Supper time got to go.

Setting up to make custom shims for Dumbo, sometimes times I feel like the Dumbo.
