I have an Ls1, I need help tightening my after market comp cam roller rockers, I bought the vehicle with them but a few days ago I bent 2 pushrods inn cylinder 7 then found out the others were waring also. So I replaced all with hardened comp cam pushrods. I read the methodon how to tighten these rocker arms according to comp cams, then threw everything back together and could hear they were chattering/loose.so again I tried one more time and sounded better but still a lil loose. Is there anyone In Minnesota that has done these rocker arms before, that can give me there advice or that can come help me do it? The car is in bloomington if you could come help me I can compensate you for your time if it works. Please and thank you need this resolved asap its my daily driver.
Thanks!

are you sure you have the right length pushrods/ did you check the lifters maybe one is collapsed? if you are getting a chatter, and the rocker arms are wearing funny like you are saying, sounds like your valvetrain geometry is messed up. what does the wipe patter look like on the tip of the valves?

Switch them back to the factory rockers and save yourself the headache, you can get them on the classifieds for dirt cheap

Do these rockers have the poly locks, i.e., the nut with jam nut in the center?

Yes they are poly locks

I found that tightening the way they tell you may not hold. I tightened 1/8 turn before the final adjustment on the main nut, then tightened the poly, then tightened both together that final 1/8 turn. Hope that makes sense. Once tight, they are terrible to disassemble.
