I will tell you what , Todd at Marsh Performance is one of the most stand up guys out there. I talked with him today while he was building an engine and he stopped what he was doing to shoot the breeze with me. Told me to call him Monday and he would get me straight with the parts I need to fix these rockers. I will make sure the car is still running okay and then most likely get with a nice member here about getting his TD rockers for the real fix.. Thanks again for all the advice guys..

I've used a bunch of different single shaft aluminum roller rocker arm set up's including T&D and Harland Sharps. I've seen a small variance in the net lift on both the H.S. and T&D, I prefer the H.S. as they will custom make the exact ratio you want if your willing to wait a week or two up
I just finish dealing with a issue on a set of T&D single shaft that where suppose to be 1.65 ratio that ended up being 1.76 or so on a set of 440-1 headsshock That really messes with the coil bind when setting up the valve springs based on net lift work
Luckily I ended up checking the net lift at the retainer and discover that issue before delivering the motor to my customer, it was a pain in the butt to fix it on the engine also down wrench shruggy
I will buy H.S. before I buy another set of T&D single shaft sytem twocents

Running lash too loose/ weak springs will contribute/accelerate the life of those rockers. Valve bounce/float is very hard on rockers.

Single shaft high ratio rockers will always have the pushrod cup/ball closer to the shaft CL (unless the shaft is moved over) because that's where the ratio change comes from: there's no way to increase the length of the long (valve side) lever w/o pushing the roller over to the far end of the stem tip.

Are you checking the ratio with checking springs or the springs you will use?


Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

I did both on that motor, less than .005 differences at the retainers confused
Manton series five 3/8x .142 wall pushrods up

Hughes has 1.5 and 1.6's. Ive never used them, but Id bet they are just as good if not better than the Dove ones.

I've used the Hughes Cyro treated 1.6 rockers for the Eddy Victor M.W heads on a roller cam 400 block bracket race motor and ended up putting a set of Harland Sharp on that motor after two failures with the Hughes parts work
No more rocker troubles after that up
