Thanks Matt I have used Indy before, and they are a good cheepy rocker arm. But I never had any problem the nut backing off. How tight are you getting the nut.

How tight are you getting the nut. From the responses it seem to me that I may not be adjusting them correctly. Thanks for everybody's input.
