Running ARP Head Studs...What Rockers are you running?

Installed my heads last night and found that my rockers won't sit the whole way down due to interference with my head studs.
In each pair, one is fine the other will not clear the stud.

These are what I am running.

They worked perfectly for others how may be considering them (Non head stud applications obviously )

What is everyone else with head studs running?

Re: Running ARP Head Studs...What Rockers are you running?

Hey i had the same problem i was running Harland Sharps.I pulled all the Heli-coils out and had my machinist machine down the guide plate pad .100 to bring the stud down.Maybe someone else will chime in with a easier cheaper remedy

Back to the top....I just can't seem to find an answer to this.

I now have pics but no where to host.
If anyone has pics of their setup with headstuds please let me know.

I'm running AFR 190 Heads with ARP studs and 1/2" Nuts with Comp Pro Magnum Full Rollers and I have no problems.

Jeff, sorry got caught up in work and didn't get to this till now, since you had so many pics I just hosted them on one page...

http://www.1slowformula.com/getaz_ro..._headstuds.htm, but looking at them I must ask a simple question, did you try this installed with the pushrods in? I don't see the rocker actualy sitting that low on the rocker stud during install...

I agree, your rockers should not/will not be bottomed out like that when your geometry is correct.

If your trying to get the rockers to the bottom of the studs "STOP" that is not how SBC work. The rockers will be held down by you polylocks and suspended about the bottom of the rocker studs by the push rods and the valve springs. I bet you have plenty of clearance.

Good deal...I was told that by others but I wanted a few opinions.

Thanks all.

The rockers are not suppose to sit that far down.Install your push rods and you should be fine.
