Some cars came with spacers. The theory was that the springs caused friction that would tend to cause valve float. The spacers were a ‘hop up’ trick used by autocrossers and racers. If you don’t thave too much end play when everything is assembled, leave the spacers in. Second – the bushings from Moss have no indicator of how they should be installed. My old bushings have an indent that matches up with a recess on the rocker so that proper alignment is assured. Is there some trick here? The indent is made after the bushings are in place. They lock the bushing in place and prevent them from rotating. This job can be done with a wide bladed screw driver. Just make sure the hole in the bushing lines up with the hole in the rocker.
