Launching!
looks like a strong bottom end. the cam is a little small but not bad. the 110 lsa will help make power on motor but will not be that good for nitrous if you plan on using it.
the heads on a budget side especially buying a lunati crank. i dont think you would want 59cc combustion chamber. i think your compression would be pretty high on a stroker

I just asked they told me that the rods are perfect length and that my rockers need to be changed but if I chose to change them with aftermarket I will have to tighten them every week or how often I race the car.
Does this sound right or does it sound like he does not know what he is talking about and just trying to play me about?

on a hydraulic roller you will only need to tighten your rockers once, heck alot of small to medium sized solid rollers don't need cheching for a while.the motor will always be alittle noisy .

Like said above, 'they' is an idiot.
Build your bottom end, select a cam & heads.
Check for PTV clearance.
Select rocker type, stocker is just fine for most.
Then finally, measure pushrod length, buy the correct size & install.

I have traded PM's with Mo and his english is better typed then some of the people on here. You know who you are, type and type and never proof read your post. So give Mo a break, he's doing very well considering this isn't his first language.

Thank you guys
I was really excited that my car was almost finished then when we started it and the sound of the rockers made me kind of depressed hope to solve it soon.

with your heads your stock rockers should be fine. changing the cam because of the push rod is not the best way to fix the problem. assemble it and measure for the push length, order the right size and you are done with it. push rods are also cheaper than order a new cam

And on a side note Mr. Doug, what happened with your car? I thought I was going to get a call for some races? I saw that you missed your mark at the track, I am disapointed you couldnt get in the 11's, but then again, I need to get to the track myself.

Jesus this isnt a damn grammar lesson. You obviously know what the guy meant so why even bring it up. The noise in the video definitely sounds like your valvetrain is loose. Pull the covers. Double check your pushrod length. Make sure they are the right length. Tighten your rockers to I believe 1/2 to 3/4 turn or 22lb. What kind of rockers are you using?

Getting back to the orginal question.
As stated by some of the members above if you don't have the knowledge or tools, have a good shop check your set up for the correct push rod length.
I would not change rockers at this point.
Adding adjustable rockers and then tightening them to eleminate the noise will change the geometry and cause other problems.
Fix the problem by installing the correct push rods, then if you like you can change rockers.
By the way stock rockers are fine for nearly all but the most serious race engines.
Good Luck, I hope you get your problem corrected .
