short collars with grub screws? makes them adjustable.. :think: if you use aluminium to make spacers, it would be same "alloy" thrust surface as factory..the idea is to have no load what so ever on rockers.......... :thumpsup:

You'll need to spin them to sand/polish them. The sanding lines need to be spun like the wheel or those types of wheels look terribl...

Re: coolant ratio

As i understand coolant (ethylene glycol) doesn't have the same heat soak properties as water......
if high % coolant was desirable... wouldn't all car manufactures run straight coolant?????
