I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem?
Pic here.

I have set the stand height correctly, and was just about to dummy up and check P-V clearance and found this.

I put the stock rocker in place and it's perfect! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Peter.

 

Don't have any experience with them but looks like you might have to break out the dremel and do some clearancing to the rail.

 

That is very common. You'll have to open up the pushrod holes and clearence the valvecover rails to use the T&D Rockers. Hope this helps...

 

The ARE heads that I have have been massaged in that area to provide the needed clearance. I'll snap a picture for you.

Great! Thanks guy's.

Ryan, Thanks for the pic's. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Check your rocker geometry...stand height by the checking gauge isn't everything.

Longer p/rod maybe required. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

 

Check your rocker geometry.

After using the supplied GUAGE, I then blued the top of the valve stem and with the rocker in place, moved the valve from the seat through to the 600 lift range that I require (several times). The mark left on the tip of the valve stem is exactly in the middle. I'm happy with that. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

The pic shown at the top of this thread is with the rocker adjuster screw all the way out... I still wouldn't/couldn't torque them down at this point. (Hense the push rod is too long already) I borrowed an adjustable push rod and shortening to where I'd like to have the field of adjustment (according to the instructions) didn't help.

Last night, I spoke with one of the sponsors here, who is currently supplying me a set of LS6 heads for my 422. He said the same as the guy's above.

I'm only a dumb plumber, but with what the guy's above have suggested, it sure makes a lot of sense to me and I appreciate it.

Surely this slight modification wouldn't change the performance of the heads. Cheap insurance anyway. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

 

Bust out the dremmel and elongate those pushrod holes. Visceral I think was the first person on ls1tech to have this problem and it was about a year and a half ago. I enjoyed seeing him drill out metal from his nice brand new $4000 LS6 stage 3 heads. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Good luck with the LS6 heads...thought you would of gone C5R <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" />

 

Thanks jmX. All done now.
