Dart to GM rocker stand clearance issue I try to stay up to date on head issues on here and I haven't heard anyone talk about this. I am bolting a set of these on a buddys engine and the heads DO NOT have the slots machined in the head to clear the locators on the stock GM rocker stands. If anyone from Dart is listening or cares, please machine the slots in your heads, I'm thinking about 10 seconds of CNC time would save cutomers some aggravation. Thanks.

Tabs Those tabs are there only for the purpose of when that engine is assembled on the assembly line it locates them when the operator sets them on the motor, then the next function a person will screw in fasteners, etc....
WE told everyone when we did this to grind them off, racers and serious engine builders want the thicker pad where you mount those as when you get into big spring pressures, you want to machine the heads for larger fasteners.
Thanks
