I had jesel polish those rockers for this setup. Last edited by gregsdart; 07/11/22 06:44 PM. 8..603 156 mph best, 2905 lbs 549, indy 572-13, alky

Whether its .020 or .030 isn't goint to make any difference. The important thing is that they're not tight once they warm up and that the pushrods don't rub anywhere. A little side to side isn't going to matter to the valve or the rocker. Hell, the clearance on stockers can be measured with a yardstick !! What is important to me is having a washer on either side of every rocker so there is no wear point.
