How much rock? Your statement is vague.

well, I don't have a way to measure, they rock just sliding them over the trunnion it seems excessive. Yes it is a vague description. I was wondering if someone would describe them as tight. No plans to install at this time, no reason to remove the comps at this time, going to wait till winter or signs of failure. thanks for the response I'll look into measuring the clearance when time for install comes

It occurs to me that if they were "tight" they wouldn't get lubed and would burn up quickly.

It'll be nice if someone (professional engine builder) would offer to put the kit in correctly with lube/grease for you... instead of a average person doing them at home...
Well I'm no professional and I take offense from anyone referring to me as such...but I can and do install these for folks. 
So far no whammies.
It's just not really a profitable business unless you are installing them, too. Damn day job gets in the way too much!

Hmmm I been thinking about this while im on my way to work..... I'm thinking you couldn't go wrong with a good break in oil... since its high in zinc but I still want a answer to the question and a explanation.

I did have to open up one rocker, it was under size by about .0004 on both sides. The engine started life as an early LS7, but it spit a lash cap and damaged one rocker about two years ago. The undersized rocker was the newer one bought from GM parts, the original rockers were all on size.
