No shimming,
I also run Crane gold rockers on my Eddie heads. The instructions that came with my heads said to run adjustable rockers.

I have had my motor togeather now for 5 years with about 6000 miles, runs great.

Call up Harland Sharp and speak to Randy Jr. or Mike on the tech side have them to set you up with their roller rockers that are made special for the small block Eddy heads. They will fit right on with no grinding or shimming.

Crane Gold Race roller rockers, but I did have to open up the pushrod holes on the eddy heads as I'm running a Crane Retro-Fit roller cam too, FYI. Here's a shot of the rockers on the heads:

I have a set of comps I bought at a swapmeet. Wanted to use them but after marking the valve tip blue and turning the motor by hand, the mark was about 2/3 of the way across the valve tip. Shimming up was worse. Is it possible the stands need to be milled down ??? Can I run it that way on the street or will it kill the guides ??? Plan to try again with a new set of crane golds.

Andy, are those Eddy's ported? Did you do it yourself? Just thinking about this for the next "go around" on my 360... Beehive springs? Sorry to side track!
