Re: rocker arms




Steve,
Make sure you research your brand of rollers, lots of junk out there. I purchased mine from Indy cylinder heads per Muscle Motors suggestion, that is the only way I would buy anything from Indy by the way.

To be specific, in my case I'm running a .580" lift cam and Comp Pro
Magnum rockers with stock valve covers and I didn't have to clearance
the baffle or make any other mods to the covers. Your results may vary.
Clearancing a baffle is hardly a deal breaker....
