If I tighten them too much I pull the threads out of the rockers. I run Shubeck lifters and an aggressive stock eliminator cam shaft. Minimum seat pressure is 230 lbs. I'm thinking of going with stainless steel roller rockers. I see Comp Cams has some that may work. I'd like to know what you guys are using. Raul

I have these on my big block and like them. About 220 on the seat, 500 over the nose. Mine are older and had bronze bushings installed.

Raul Is this a BB or SB Mopar and if a SB is it early motor with single shaft rocker arms or the later Magnum type motor with stud mounted rockers? If a single shaft type on either size motor try a set of Harland Sharp aluminum roller rockers or a set of T&D single shaft rocker arms Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

They said to run lash caps and they will be fine. NHRA says no lash caps in stock eliminator. Oh, the motor is a 360 LA. I am leaning toward the Comp Magnums. Raul
