Excuse me??
Do you mean I have no idea how much easier it makes your life, or I have no idea what i'm talking about? I'm refering to something you have already stated in the past.

f you gotta adjust that often , you got other issues ... like i said take an old valve cover and cut the center out and use that to adjust and yes it will work , hell he do it when its needed... but my self i like to use a valve cover design for my head , not to keen using an old style valve cover on it...MHO...

it works well with stock rockers, but when you have polylocks its impossible to do it that way. You have to puta wrench on it and then use an alen key to tighten the polylock

i mite have to take a pic of this , take the old valve cover and cut the center out(the length of the valve cover) so you have an open big enough so you can see down into the rockers .. then the oil wont get every where.... i do this on the mailbu after i put new rockers on , put that valve cover on and run a few cycles and start adjusting..
matter of fact this came from hendricks racing when they use to be in harrisburg years ago , my dad did some of there engine work ,

We usedto use an oldcut up valve coveralsounder the shade tree when we had solid lifters, but with the hydraulic lifters and non-adjustable rocker arms I get by without doing it.
