Some of my issues was resolved with just making a shim and moving the rocker arms,,Also while checking this , we measured the actual ratio and found that the proforms was not a 1-5, , so we ordered a new set of 1-5 from crane,as well as a set of 1-6,In order to get the ave of a 1-5 ratio,I needed 1-6 rocker! I guess a guy could actual just go nuts and check every rocker arm /push rod, lifter measure every cam lobe, everything to the inth degree. Make no mistake tho,just because it is a so called valued name brand that there are no issues is foolish,or just because the part is one of a cheaper caliber,does not mean that it will not work as told by the maker! For some reason most of these seasoned racers tend to have that holy than tho syndrome, and if you are not running the parts that they run you are some kind of a 'tool' . When it comes to performance parts, no one maker has the end to issues that crops up from time to time in their products, Some engine builders seam to build more into it than what is really out there. No one can say where a budget falls on this as it vairies to much from a street guy , to full out race acholic! At one point we Mopar guys wished that there was performance parts that was cheap enough to make more power out of our stuff, now we have such, and fits a lot of budgets for just about everyone,

With that said I know what engine builder you are not using as he would never suggest that rocker.
Good luck with the build

I'm sure we've all run "budget" parts at some time in our lives only to find out that its cheaper in the long run to spend a little more on quality products.

It was ALOT more me than him. I'm the one trying to squeeze as much for as little. Just for the record, the HS's have been ordered and in route OUCH! Thumper dart, nice shot! Reminds me while as a younger man watching Mr. Mike Toot and his bad ass Dart's @ Miami Hollywood International Speedway.

Which Harland sharps did you get? The ones you need are only available thru Mancini , at least they were only available thru Mancini , they are bushed on the shaft instead of full roller bearing.

Wrong "Harland Sharp" Rockers? What would be considered wrong? I'm certain he knows what he's doing and I'm keeping my mouth shut and suggestions to myself. I've caused enough grief already.
