Rebuilding an 821 is EMOTIONAL
jbcollier:
Duh, of course in this case you would be shimming the rocker pedestals.
Really, I ought not be let on the internet unsupervised...

If anyone needs custom pushrods for their Renault they are less than $100 a set from Smith Brothers Pushrods in Oregon. They are familiar with the Renaults and have what they call a Dave Bean radius.
gideon:
Can they do a pushrod upgrade, i.e. lighter and/or stiffer than original?
skippopotamus:
I'm sure they can do pretty much anything given enough money, Gideon.

We had a few sunny days in row here in rainy California so I buttoned up a few things while the access is so good. Rebuilding the Renault was humbling and it took me a number of tries to get a leak free cam box.
Once that was done a few friends helped me put the body back on. It's not completely down in the picture. I have to rebuild the firewall and I think it'll be easier if I have a little extra room. Plus it's easier to get in and out of the car if it's up high. I'll be in and out of it a lot doing the interior and the wiring.
