Ford 302 Rocker Shims

Mark Yacavone · 03-30-2021, 12:11 AM

Does anybody have a set that they could measure for me. I think they might work for my application, which looks similar.
Call or email me or just post the length , width and hole dia.

Mark,

What diameter and hole size do you need?

Prior to the rule change allowing aftermarket rocker arms, I used aircraft AN960 washers in Oldsmobile engine applications. They are available in 0.016, 0.032, 0.042 and 0.063 thickness. They are stronger than commercial washers and still low cost.

Yes, I've seen those for Oldes. These are rectangular, and I will check out the info above from Phil. Thanks

The aircraft AN960 washers are round and not rectangular. The engine did not know the difference.
