Default Rocker arm search

I am in the hunt for a set of LS3, adjustable rockers that will bolt on top of the factory rocker stands. I have a set of TSP 260cc heads and want to use a low lash solid roller cam.

There are quite a few adj rockers out there, it really depends on spring pressure and budget honestly.

I know there are a lot, but which one will bolt on top of the factory rocker stands?

Had I known the TSP 260 heads had rocker stands made onto them, I would have bought Mast Black Label heads.

None. The yella terra adj use their own stands.
The comp adj use rocker studs. The shaft mounts are self explanatory.
I do not know of any that use the factory rail. well any QUALITY ones anyway.
Some will even need tall covers or cover spacers also if they have the adj nut on the pushrod cup.

There are only 3 choices for a LLSR: Jesel, T&D Machine, Crower and all three shaft mount. Don't waste you time or money on anything else and choose between aluminum or stainless steel for maximum endurance. Be very careful where you buy the above rockers, because the Chinese are knocking-off a lot of the rockers; insure they are genuine.

Default LS-7 Lash Caps

Hi LS-1, I have used another method for the BAJA race car engine.

The LS-7 Ti Intakes use a Lash CAP, with the same cap being fitted to a "shortned" EX Valve is possible.

This is GOOD for valve Tip protection, the use of Caps.

Then with ONE "SETUP CAP" AND 16 "proud" Lash Caps, you can get the required Lash.

ALL, most, of the OHC "bucket" engines use this method of Lash Adjustment.

None of the above choices will work because of the valves being closer together than OEM.

PRC 260's have the rocker pedestals made into the head because they moved the valve locations closer together. I wish it would have said this on their web site. I would not have ordered these.

Thanks, That would be great if they could. If all else fail, I found a bare set of Dart Pro 1's I can swap all my stuff over to and sell these bare heads. Someone running a hydraulic cam could always use them.
I do have a set of AFR 225's I will be selling soon. I need to replace one exhaust valve first. I won't let them go out unless they are ready to run. Price will be RIGHT.

Adding an adj nut on the top of the rocker like that normally necessitates a spaced cover or taller cover.
