Default Who's running T&D shaft rockers?

Got an absolute (E-Bay) steal on this rocker set, #20042, and have a couple questions for those are running these:
  • The roller tips of the exhaust rockers don't line up exactly, is this normal?
  • It "looks" right in the pic, but does the pushrod cup take a stock-type PR end?
  • What's a good starting point to shoot for on the PR adjusting cup (will need to order PR's later)
  • Looking at the clearance between the PR end of the rocker and the cyl head, will I have any interference at lift or throughout travel?
Thanks!

I had a lot of interference with my rockers from DRE so we had to take some material off the heads but I was necessary to get the geometry where it needed to be. Try calling T&D to see what they say. Good luck, I hope they are better to you than they were me! We even spoke with the owner himself!!

Got it and replied.

I just snagged these (for a great price) for a future project, too good a deal to pass up! Now I can use either the Comp short-preload hydraulic * or * solid lifters. From what I've been hearing, the T&D folks are d!cks to deal with, I did send them an e-mail last week and got no reply. I was hoping that others on who are already running them would weigh in with suggestions or advice...

The exact words from the T&D guy we spoke with were, "these will work on anything BUT a race motor.". Ummm we aren't exactly building stock remans here bud! Their ford stuff is great but the ls stuff just isn't worth messing with.

Not very comforting words... Mine will likely never see a track, but occasional street blasts will be in order.
