HAH! You'd know if you did it wrong. Early in my loop days, I was
reassmbling the rocker shafts. I couldn't remember how they came apart, so I
looked in my Premier Motors restoration book. Just follow the picture.
Only problem was that the printer had turned the photograph 90 degrees before
printing. So, when I thought I was looking at the left side head, I was, in
fact, looking at the right side. What I thought was up, was down. The
springs and washers go on the TOP end of the rockers and I had mounted them
on the bottom.
Man, what a noise. I stopped the engine and reassembled properly after I
realized the book printing error. Go look at page 16 if you can find an
original Premier Motors manual. Funny how the little distributor is located
BELOW the cylinder.
