ok so i started to put my car back together after a head swap. When i went to put the rockers on ( non self alligning 1.6's) the rockers touch the bottom of the studs. So do i need longer pushrods? i have comp hardend 7808's? these pushrods have been in the car for 3 years ? any help would be great.

 

I have the same problem...just saw it today

I have arp studs, isky guideplates, .083 moly pushrods....was trying it with harland sharp 1.6 rockers, they are rubbing on the bottoms

 

mine are combination motorsports i think.

 

anyone else have similar problems? Anyway of fixing it?
I was going to go to a promagnum but I want to make sure they don't rub also

 

any advice? lash caps?

 

I am not understanding where the interference is.

where the big part of the bearing is....it rubs the HEX parts of the stud on the botom of the rocker....Mine are aluminum and some hit some dont...depends on how the hex is turned

If a pic would help let me know

 

 

exactly what mine are doing but they are cnc motorsports i guess i will call them tomorrow

 

I was thinking with all the experts we would have at least gotten some type of answer

 

Those look exactly like the rocker problem I described in this thread:

Answer... get different rockers. Something that's been proven like the Comp Cams HiTechs or ProMags instead of overly huge gargantuous looking aluminum rockers.

 

well I thought these were o.k was suppossed to be a harland sharp but my main concern was to see if I have another problem before I ordered new pro mags

 

I finally agree with SS RRR on something GET DIFFERENT ROCKERS!

 

o.k. will do

glad to see you guys are friends now
