Light 15 rocker shaft assembly

[Anonymous]

On removing the rocker shaft from the cylinder head I find that three of the support pillars have a spacer in the cut side of pillar and two do not have a spacer. Should all the support pillars have a spacer?
I realise the end pillar spacer locates in the keyway and my other spacers are in the centre and other end pillars.

You must have a spacer; if not, the support can crack when you tighten the bolt. Use a thin flat washer under the split washer so you don’t score and possibly scrape bits off of the aluminium support.

Many thanks, I thought there should be spacers under all 5 shaft supports

You’re welcome. I had to learn it the hard way.
