MY FIRST POST! I have found lots of help here – maybe I can be of help for someone else….
I need a group opinion.
I recently bought a new (old) toy. I trust very little of the previous owners work. The 440 wasn’t running to my standards so off came the heads for inspection and cleaning and out came the cam for a little more aggressive one. During teardown of the 440, the stock rocker arms didn’t look right to me.
I have owned B & RB motors before and the stock rockers seemed tighter that these. First, the tips of the rockers don’t ride center on the valves (btw - they don’t look like the stock rockers to me). There is also an excessive amount of play up and down the shaft once the shaft is bolted down. The spacer between them and the hold downs don’t really keep the rockers placed correctly. Do these look right to you?
There is around 1/8" clearance between the side of the rocker and the hold down.
Could someone post a picture of their stock rockers and the clearances they have from the factory?
