Default Harlan Sharp Rocker Question

I am making sure I have all the correct hardware for these rockers. Could someone look at the attached pictures and tell me if one of the pieces of steel that link the rockers should be shorter than all the other ones.

Thanks!

Mine are the same length for all rockers. Looks like a shorter pin wouldn't hold the rocker together adequately and might bind under hard acceleration. Call Harland Sharp and ask them.

All of mine are the same length, but mine are also adjustable rockers. I would think yours should all be the same.

Since intake/exhaust pairs of rockers are all the same on all cylinders on LS's, the pin lengths should be identical. If some are shorter than others, someone packed the wrong parts.

That is absolutely wrong. Give them a call and ask for Randy Jr. He will help you out very fast. Best customer service of any company, he personally drove parts to my house one time since he lives down the street lol.

If I were the OP, my first call would have been to HS. Forums like this are great, as I have learned a TON of stuff here, but when it comes to product defects or shortages, or even a suspicion of either, a call to the mfr. or distributor should come first for faster results.
