I DID NOT get screwed on these rockers
OK so I got my new non self aligning rockers in the other day (I got my paper work on the others, I'm confident I'll get my money back). I installed them using the #1 and #6 TDC method. You know, at #1 TDC Intake: 1, 2, 5, 7 Exhaust: 1, 3, 4, 8 and then #6 TDC Intake: 3, 4, 6, 8 Exhaust: 2, 5, 6, 7. I did the "spin the pushrod method" and I gave an 1/8th of a turn and then set the lock. I ran the motor for a second with the covers off and felt each one individually while running and it all felt good. I noticed they were kinda loud but figured it was cuz they hadn't oiled yet. I buttoned the car up and went for a short 5-6 mile drive. Car drove fine with no missing but DAMN these things are loud. This is my first experience with NSA's. Did they not oil enough in the short drive or what? I am not sure I can handle the racket.

Went and took off the driver's side valve cover cuz it's fast. Everything looks in tip top shape under there after a short drive. Maybe they'll get quieter in a few miles.

i agree with everyone on saying the pro mags being quieter. i had self aligning summit rockers when i had the hot cam and they were loud but not to the point i couldnt stand it. i still hold that set of rockers to be just as good when it comes to durability, being affordable, and doing there job. ive said it two or three times now on here they are cheap and work.
