Default harland sharp fitting problems?

i went to test fit my harland sharp roller rockers (1.7 ratio) and i found that they sit too close to each other (because the shaft is too short) so i cant bolt them into the head. has anyone had this problem before? I'm going to call them tomarrow and see what they say. i'm just curious if anyone else has had this problem? Also, has the c-clip breaking problem been fixed yet or should i ask them about that when i call them also?

The two rockers will pull apart. They float on the shaft. Some of mine were also hard to pull apart.

7 out of 8 pairs were apart on mine (shaft still in one rocker, other one free) as soon as I opened them. They all seem to be different lenghts but I really don't know how deep in the other rocker it was. I haven't installed them and have reservations about doing so.

just seperate them a bit. They will be fine. You might run into clearence issues on the outer 4 most rockers. I used a belt sander to take don the edges and the went in without an problems.
