i haven't heard of anyone having problems with them myself. just don't understand why i am. have checked the length of my pushrods, there right. have checked the installed height of the springs, its right. it's just the damn retainer is so big. i should have spent the extra cash and got the beehives damnit!!
most grind the rockers to fit.
There is another retainer/lock set up that will work and lower the retainer about .050. This should give the clearance you are looking for.
PM or email if you need the info and do not wanna grind the rockers.

I agree with SS RRR on the spring selection. These are some stout springs for the Hot Cam and you can find something for less $$$ that will work with the SA rockers and handle the Hot Cam easily.
If you plan on going larger later on and just wanna get one set of springs now, these are a good choice.
Just wanted to point out that there are other options for the Hot Cam and SA rockers for less $$$ and less headaches.

yes it is just the hot cam and
yes i am going to go bigger in the very near future with the cam, and am also going to be hitting it with a 150hp shot of nos in the mean time. so i felt that putting the springs in now with the 150hp shot would help. and then this summer when i put the better cam in it i wont have to do the springs then, just the cam.
