Rocker valve thrust Washer (501.1.0511)
Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2017 10:33 pm
Hello,
I am busy rebuilding 2 engines for my Haflinger. When I dismantled the rocker arms, various numbers of thrust washers were found, with no repetitive pattern, a total of 18 for 4 cylinder heads, some were 2 or 3 together.. I understand that the spring should have a washer on each side ( as on parts chart) but what about the aluminium head side next to the rocker . I was hesitating to put 4 washers per shaft (1 between head and rocker, 2 between rocker and spring - to avoid the spring to be loaded in rotation , and one on the last side between spring and aluminium head)
Any comments welcome
pS there is a great photograph of goatwerks ( haflinger) head, but is it hard to see any washers. Great photographs though and thanks.
