Valve Lash Caps, Yay or Nay???

[Dan_Lockwood]

I have a new set of Tims Stage II heads with solid 1.25 rockers. These have the curved valve side foot with the adjuster on the push rod side. The motor is a 2276, all new parts.

I have purchased valve lash caps, but the motor is still far from completed.

Should I use them or not?

Thanks, Dan

On the rockers that you have I would recommend them ,you don't want to mushroom your valve stems

Do caps affect geometry at all? Are they suitable for high revving engines? I'm asking because I have the same rockers and was considering them.

Yes and Yes
