HELP! Rockers wont line up???
I have an 01 LS1 with 317 heads and patriot gold dual springs. I am trying to put the comp cams 1.8 rockers( http://www.racingheadservice.com/Wha...t%20Rocker.pdf ) in it, but the pushrod/rocker geometry isn't working. It seems like the seat in which the rocker shaft sits in is too low causing mis-alignment with the push rod. Anyone have any input?

Here is my attempt to show what the problem is in paintbrush. My heads were assembled by a machine shop with a great reputation. Had the valves done and springs installed. Thinking maybe I got the wrong rocker cradle? I have a pretty good mechanical inclination, so I can figure most things out but this has me stumped. These rockers are for an ls1, I changed to 317 heads from a 6.0 liter but I was under the imperession that everything was interchangable between the two so now Im kinda out of ideas. I have never checked the wipe, I actually have never heard of that so maybe I will look it up and try that next. Everything I bought was suppose to be a drop in replacement.. So much for that!

Thanks for the input, Im going to put my stock rockers back in and see if they line up correctly, if they do I suppose Im going to find a new set of rockers somewhere to replace these. Might be these heads who knows. Thanks Again for the help!
