Yella Terra idea We just finished another Yella Terra rocker install, mine go on sometime this year 
Anyway, I was wondering if Yella Terra sold adjustable studs/poly locks for these 1.7 LS1 rockers, providing the valve train geometry is correct, I don't see a reasons why they can't be mounted on studs using poly locks? Like the ones that are availible from SLP for there 1.8 rocker set-up, another idea was they can easily be used for solid cam set-ups and not having to use the washer shims provided in the kit in either instance.. any input or other ideas?

Re: Yella Terra idea
You would have to set each pair exactly the same with the poly locks. I think this might be a little difficult.

Re: Yella Terra idea Thats how you set adjustable rockers.... One at a time. Start the first with the valves both totally closed, find 0 lash, put in 1/2 or 5/8 or whatever of a turn you think is appropriate preload, rotate the crank 90 degrees and do the next cyl. in the firing order. No biggie....

Re: Yella Terra idea Who's fretting Chris?
Yella Terra's have two rockers on each shaft, my point is I dont think you could use poly locks on this setup, you'd have to put adjusters on the pushrod end like Jesel's and other adjustable shaft mount rockers.

I didn't know SLP made studs and poly locks for their 1.8 rockers.....I would guess its an 8mm stud that would replace the factory bolt correct?
