son of a ..Bought the wrong rocker arm nuts

About a year ago I bought the hotcam and 1.6 gm rockers off a board member (assuming they were the lt4 rockers) but only 11 out of the 16 rocker arm nuts came with poly locks so I can't use them. So I bought Arp rocker arm adjusters, 3/8 with .550 wide slot, but they are too big Now I don't know what size to get.

I'm sick of running around on 1.5 rockers when all I need is damn poly locks.

Are you sure they didn't send you 7/16"?

You are saying the locknuts are too big for the rockerarm studs?

they are in fact 3/8 lock-nuts and they fit right over the end of the stud I have nuts for these particular studs but they don't have locks on them and it doesn't look like any kind of lock would fit on them (don't know if they would come loose)
I've heard that Real lt4 rockers don't have locks and are torqued. don't know how true that is
