Jake brake adjustment problem


TimberJack

Recommended Posts

Just installed a new rear head on my AC 427. Got it all put back together and was running overhead and had a problem on #4 Jake adjustment, with the screw backed all the way out I could not get my feeler gauge in between actuating pin and the piston. I had no problem with the others. Any help would great. Thanks

You need to install 3 .025 shims under the rocker stands of the rear head.

Common issue with a re man head. I can't think of the part number off the top of my head, but your dealer should have them in stock.

Reason for this is that your head was machined and now the valves are sitting higher. Shimming up the rocker will eliminate any engine brake clearance issues.
