Re: VC460 valvetrain noise?
Excuse my ignorance, but, I've read a few threads and I can't figure out how to measure the balance shaft and camshaft end play. Could someone point me in the right direction? My motor is a bit noisy and I want to quieten it down the best I can (420 not 460). I'm already planning for roller rockers and upgraded pushrods.

Re: VC460 valvetrain noise?
I did my mock up build down the cylinder bore without the connecting rod and piston for the cam and balance shafts. Some of the pro use a trashed side cover with a cut out for measurement. The crank can be measured externally.

Re: VC460 valvetrain noise?
You can measure the cam and balance shaft end play through the crankshaft hole in the side case. The cut up side case is a perfect way to clearance a block for obstructions -- but would you trust the end play numbers?

Re: VC460 valvetrain noise?
Where are you guys sourcing crankshaft shims? What side of the crank is best to shim?

Re: VC460 valvetrain noise?
Crankshaft shims are available from NR racing, shim the pto / output side/ side cover side of the crankshaft. The balance shaft and cam shaft get shimmed on the flywheel/ crank case side. The balance shaft and cam shaft take the same size shins. 5/8” gun barrel shins work or you can order a 19 pc assortment of 5/8 arbor shims off Amazon. McMaster Carr also carries them...

Re: VC460 valvetrain noise?
I found the 5/8 " shims on the balance shaft way too sloppy a fit. It mikes out @ .575" or 15mm. The only shims I could find were 15.19 mm units from Mcmaster Carr. Those ended up fitting the balance shaft perfectly.
