  View original topic: Rocker arm tolerance on the rocker shaft

I've searched and can't seem to find an answer - what is the tolerance I should expect between the rocker arms and the rocker shaft? I was just adjusting my valves and with my fingers, I can slightly twist the rocker arm on the #4 cylinder exhaust valve like the inner diameter of the rocker arm opening is slightly larger than the rocker shaft.

From "Genau Genommen", March 1956, the radial play between rocker and rocker shaft is between 0.006 to 0.052 mm when new, with a wear limit of 0.080mm. So, measure the shaft and rocker bore at #4 to see what's up.

Thank you - that is super helpful! I will remove and measure, and replace if it is out of spec.
