This KPMI rocker shim conversion spring kit for the M-8 utilizes a dual spring system and a lightweight retainer that houses a standard 9.5 mm hardened steel shim . The rocker arm rides directly on the shim surface and the 9.5 mm diameter significantly increases the allowable rocker wipe area . This increase in wipe area provides the ability to utilize larger lift cams , that previously were unable to run on a 6 mm valve stem . The system is intended to be adjustable and allows for at least 0.060 " of spring shims ,
tailoring the pressures and lift capacity to meet the engine builder ' s needs . Additionally , the rocker shim thickness can be varied to adjust effective stem protrusion . When larger camshafts are used , and valvetrain acceleration values increase , KPMI strongly recommends running titanium valves for maximum performance . See KPMI ' s installation instructions for more information .
