Hi,
I installed full roller rocker arms on my sbc about 700 miles ago, the contact area is not too bad but not perfect, the main thing that concerns me is the "side contact pattern" indicates the rockers are "tilted" to one side, if I change back to pressed gm rocker arms will this allow the contact area to be even across the the width of valve stem?
I presume the rocker studs or rocker arms are at a slight angle.
I have read that the alignment problem can cause rapid valve guide wear, and even seats dropping out!
Yes they are Chinese, that's all I could afford at the time
cheers
