If anyone can help with why the pics failed I'd appreciate it, lol.

CSK nailed it. Stop screwing around and call Mike. You'll be glad you did. I can't see the pictures, but unless the sweep is .040 or a bit less, you need to fix the geometry. Centering the sweep if it's .080 or more wide doesn't mean a thing.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

Centering the sweep if it's .080 or more wide doesn't mean a thing. Who's "screwing around"?? I spoke with Mike over a week ago and we had a very long discussion about this and lots of other things. He's a great guy and I really appreciated his time. That being said, I'll mock things up and look at them myself before I make any decisions. The scrub was .037 wide, .123 from the ex. side of the valve to .183 from the int. side on a .343 o.d. valve.

I'm glad to see others on here not drinking the cool aid on the rocker arm tip shrub patterns having to be no wider than .030 directly centered on the valve stem if it is centered, or almost centered and .060 wide I'll run that in a heartbeat

Maybe if I had my response would have been different. If the sweep is that narrow, run it. Being centered doesn't mean a thing.

Why leave it like that when it's fixable?

Sadly I still haven't figured out why those pics won't show, LOL.

Note that Mancini's website lists the "E" version of Sharps (edelbrock) for Trick Flows too. Went through the same dilemma for my stealth heads. Switched to Edelbrock sharps, no fuss, no muss, no shims, no adapters, no BS. Just a good scrub pattern.

Yep, we got back with HS and they were very kind in offering us an option to "swap" them his old rockers+ $$ and they're sending out the "E" rockers. They really owed us nothing, so they did it simply because they're a good company I guess? Either way hats off to HS for their awesome customer service.

That's awesome, glad it worked out. Shanon's worked a similar deal with HS for me. They're great to deal with.
