Default What do you guys think? Polylock clearance. pics

New RR's and a tight clearance between rocker arm and polylock.
Do you think its too close? I mean the rocker shouldnt go any higher than that and hit the polylock but what if a lifter bleeds down a little? I dont want to have to worry about stuff when im reving it past 6k.. Think I will be ok, or do I need new polylocks? These are the locks that came with the rockers (scorpions). And this is the one with the least clearance, most of em has more and some of them is like this.

I think if you readjust your rockers with the engine running, you'll have a more accurate adjustment and you'll have more clearance.

EDIT: I take that back, regardless of how high your rockers sit on the stud, the lock will still seat at the same depth in relation to the top of the rocker. It's a tight fit, but I can't say if it will ever touch or not.

enough people have ran scorpians without trouble so I doubt there will be an issue
