Re: horrible roller rocker problem

im going to assume they have polylocks on them. there should be a screw in the center of the nut. once you have reached zero lash you must tighten down the center screw to lock the rocker down to the stud

heres some better info thanks to shoebox. http://http://shbox.com/1/4th_gen_te...#adjust_valves

look through this for what information you may need.

Re: horrible roller rocker problem

Are they NSA and, if so, are you using the correct guide plates? You should use the GM 14011051 guideplates for LT1's, because some of the aftermarket ones do not have the correct spacing (they're designed for the Gen I small blocks) and will side load the rockers so they are apt to jump off the valve stems.
