Default Harland Sharp Roller Rockers Issues

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?

I put them on my car and did not have any problems.

Good luck.

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.
