Great! Thanks for the info. I broke a rocker stud(comp) on #5 intake and bent both pushrods on that cylinder so Im upgrading the whole valvetrain to 7/16 hardware. Hopefully nothing else is damaged.

I got

ARP studs
Pro Mags
Trick flow guideplates
Trick flow pushrods
and ARP polylocks, but I can send those back now.

Thanks for input.

That sucks man. That is what i am putting in my heads right now. You just will not need the ARP polylocks since the rr already come with them.

Got some pics today of the damage. Exhaust rocker stud on #5 broke. The cylinder pressure in that cylinder became too high since the exhaust wasnt getting out,the pushrod on the intake side and bent.
However I think the root cause is that the poly lock wasnt catching enough treads to hold it down properly. Also the poly locks I was using were a bit too wide for the rocker causing them to rub. Also the top of the poly lock was hitting the rocker body. All my fault I guess I should of checked it better when I assembled it. It ran fine for about 8 months though, I had installed 918 springs, comp studs and poly locks.

Well, I got it all together a few weeks ago and have put about 1k miles on it since. It runs great, and most of all I love how quiet the valvetrain is now, sounds stock.
Those trick flow guide plates fit perfect, I only had a bit of trouble lining up #1 and #2. After everything was tightened up I let it run with the valve covers off till it warmed up. Then the pushrods on those cylinders started squealing from rubbing against the guide plates. I repositioned them, and its run great since.
