Yeah, check everything twice before assembly. No aftermarket part is " bolt on " and go in my experance. Check it all. Then check it again. And if in doubt call the tec line.

So did the Edelbrock heads when using 1.6 rockers. Just get out the grinder and live happily ever after. Or, upto the next snatch ofcourse.
We had to grind my Eddy's for clearence.

My Stealths fit with the 3/8 push rods.They are super close but dont touch.As said always check everything.I also changed me locks, springs and retainers.My machinist also back cut the valves and cleaned them a bit.Would have done it with just about any head.Rocky

...and stealths definately are not Edelbrocks.
Not to slam anyone but just wondering what that meant.
Not nearly as nice kinda crude (well Chinese so to speak) no way an OOTB Stealth will flow what and OOTB eddie will.

Not to start a but do you have the flow numbers to back up that claim? Because the numbers I have, done by a respected moparts head porter, show OOTB eddy vs OOTB stealth to be within +/- 4% of each other across the board.

I agree, no part is bolt on with out checking. Especially aftermarket.
SOUNDS LIKE you have run into some POOR QUALITY stuff.
IMO ...if you buy an "assembly" that is claimed to be BOLT-ON ... it should not need additional "checking".

A neighbor just bought a set of Stealth heads...VERY nice.He is changing the springs and locks and such as he is running a large cam,but he brought them to the machine shop to make sure everything with the valve job and guide clearance was good and they were just fine.
