I guess I'll move the post over here? Here is the question I asked:
"Is anyone else running Harland Sharp 1.6 roller rockers on TFS TW heads? Im checking my geometry, and the rockers seem to be too far out on the valve stem."

I am makeing my own adjustable pushrod (can't tap the hardened steel, gonna have to break out the welder...), so that is'nt an issue.

The whole contact patch on the valve stem is at the edge of the stem (away from the rocker stud- closer to the exhaust outlet). It is in this area no matter how far, up or down I move the rocker arm. This seems odd.

I have the rockers on right, with the washer and guideplate under the stud. And these are 1.6 rockers.

The heads were shaved .050" to bring comp. up, but that wont have any effect on this problem.

What kind of rockers is everyone else using on their TFS TW heads????

DOH!


I saw the recomended list, but never read that you were not supposed to use Harland Sharps.

Guess this is gonna take a little longer than I thought.

I guess I will use the 3/8" rockers. If I ever put these heads on a stroked 351 (waaaay down the road) can I just put a stud girdle on it and call it good? Will it hold up?
