Default Anyone use non-adj rockers on ETP heads?

Just wondering how they work. Looking at a set of Yella Terra ultralights that are non-adjustable and hoping this would be a good combination...?

yes, you can use them but make sure you have the right rocker geometry (swipe pattern) and correct lifter preload.

Some using stock rockers as well. I think the ETP's have a special rocker stand for the stock rockers (I am not too familiar with them) and if that is the case it may not work with the Yella Terra's. You might want to give ETP a shout as well.

Yeah that's the thing, they are all at the show right now.

the ETP's of the optional rocker stand to use the stock rockers. The yella terra's I'm looking at are the direct replacement ones for the stockers that come on our cars. So I'm trying to piece together in my mind an assumption that these should work, but I just wanted to make sure.

My time to buy these will probably end by tonight.

They mount differently though, the Yella Terra's use a pedestal and not the stock type arrangement.

Default yella terra

We, as well as one of our Australian customers have worked with Yella Terra to develop lightweight rocker kits that are a direct bolt on to all of our cylinder heads. Yes, We were all at the PRI show this week.

So does that mean the non adj yella terra's that are normally sold for ls1's will not work then?
