So Im about to fire this bish up and was just checking everything. I took off a rocker and noticed that it has indents on the bottom of the rocker where it is hitting the rocker-stud on the bottom like where you would put the wrench. It almost seams like there should be a spacer between the rocker on the bottom of the stud??? Now im worried and confused. Any help would be great.

They are 1.6 rockers with guide plates.

You may have to take them all off and clearance them. I would also check the valvetrain geometry. It may only be a matter of clearance, but if the rocker is actually sitting that low, the geometry could be off (incorrect pushrod length, would be too short in this case). If the geometry is good just clearance the rocker arms as needed.

Scorpions here with ARP studs. No problems. Badblackzee and a couple more on here that I personally know run them with no issues. Sounds like PR length is off.
Edit: if it makes any difference, I ran these rockers/studs on a stock casting and on my current dart casting. Did not have any issues. Are they NSA or SA?

I do not have pics of that. It was very little on the bottom corner. Your issues SERIOUSLY sounds like too short of pushrods man. The rocker should NOT touch the bottom of the rocker stud like that with an appropriate length pushrod. My friend (the pics I posted) had issues with the body of the rocker hitting the HEAD studs. I run ARP head bolts and have zero clearance issues. Post a pic up for us when you get a chance
