Hubert_25-25 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) On my 1925 Buick Standard, my machinist pulled my rocker shaft apart, and then I disassembled the one that I had with my spare parts. I laid all the parts out in an organized manner and took several photos of the order and wrote on the paper towels notes regarding the order. Somehow, those photos got lost or written over. Now all I have is a box of parts. Does anyone have an exploded view of the rocker shaft that they created. I know there are 3 short, 2 long, and 1 end spring on the rocker shaft. So the main issue is really the ends, and which end gets the end spring. The front or the back of the rockershaft. All I have is the starting order of one side of the rockershaft, but not the other side. Also wondering if anyone sourced any replacement springs. On one engine, the shortest spring was broken, it has a bit of wear on the good one, just wondering how long it will last. Any help is appreciated. Thank you, Hugh Edited November 10, 2018 by Hubert_25-25 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) Hugh: There is the Bugle article I did. But here are some of the photos I took. If they have enough resolution you can zoom in to see. This is looking Front (left ) to Rear (right). The oil outlet threaded cap(use new copper crush gasket) the outlet/tube assembly (another copper crush casket here also) then the rocker standoff support. From there you can see the rockers on their side with the correct length spring and washers continuing to the rear. Final assembly of the shaft. Otherwise I can take more photos. I will also send to your email. Larry Edited November 11, 2018 by dibarlaw spelling (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert_25-25 Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) David and Larry, Thanks for the photos. I think I have it now. I found 2 other pictures of the ends of the rocker shaft, so I know the order. The ends are put together very differently.
