I just bought these off of the parts for sale board and im having issues installing them. 2 fit perfect but on all the others the gap between the exhuast in intake rockers seems to be shorter than the other 2 that fit. They are the stock 1.7 and they are being put on an 97 ls1 corvette head. The stock ones fit perfect...
Any ideas?

 

Go here for installation help. They are not the same but might help.

Good luck.

Not sure I understand the problem based on your description, got a photo by any chance?

 

Yea iv gone through all that. It just that the gaps between the set of rockers on all but 2 arnt wide enought to make it into the bolt holes. it like a cm short.. Thanks for the help though any other ideas?

 

Yea i have a cell phone but right now im in school so im not really able to talk i get out at 2:25 so i can talk then. the number is 214 335 227. i live near dallas.

 

bump...

 

so wat is there to do to solve the issue?

 

I have no idea if those gaps where about 1cm longer they could fit.. but i have no idea how to strech that rod that they could be long enough... i was hoping that i could get somone that had the same issue to let me know what i need to do.

 

call the manufacture or wat ever company u bought them from

 

I had the same problem with my HS's all I did was pull the two rockers apart from each other, start the bolts then slide them back together and finish tightening. Hope this helps.

 

str8evl have u had any problems since?and were they easy to put back together?
