RE: rocker arms

[Jeff Adams <ledman_70@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That may not be totally true, depending on the cam lift. When I built 
the 426 wedge for my 64 Polara 3 years ago I installed a 513" lift 
Lunati cam. I had to install adjustable rockers, so I used stock cast 
adjustables. They hit the baffles in the steel valve covers and rattled 
terribly. I took them off and there were little dents in the baffles 
where they had been hit. I used a rounded hammer and dinged them a 
little further to fix the issue. Now, I have M/T covers on there's no 
problem. The previous 413 motor had a 509" cam and stamped rockers, but 
they never hit the vc.
