I'm getting ready to assemble my gt40p heads. I'm removing some of the goodies from the gt40 heads and installing them on the P heads. Since this will be my first time assembling a set of heads, I have a few questions.
I am missing one of the Stud mounts with the push rod guide and all of the nuts. I plan to use nylock nuts, is there a preferred type that's normally used here? I have some, but I'm not sure if I should use them in the head. Also, where can I get just one of the stud mount and push rod guide? The stud mount is 3/8-24 thread.
The 1.6 roller rockers I have have some wear on the inside edge. I've seen this before on other roller rockers as well. Should i clearance these myself or install and not worry about it because it is common?
I believe the springs to be Alex parts springs, but it seems there's no way to fully identify them. I can see there are shims at the base of the spring where it meets the head. Are these reusable or do I need to buy a set so I can shim them to spec? I've never had to shim springs before. ( I've always had rotary cars before this, don't hate me I love all cars!)
