Numbers are important here. They should have all been north of 150 PSI. If they were less than that, something is awry. If you have a valve that isn't fully closing, or opening all the way for that matter, would definitely give you some interesting running problems...

Ok, may or may not be an issue then, barring something else coming up though, something to keep in the back of your mind.

When are your new rockers due to arrive?

Mainly because of the price tag..... Not a cheap piece. Lot more accurate than the pedestal/stud mount guys though. Probably worth 10 to 15 horsepower just by virtue of the shaft.....

Yea they aren't cheap but I thought it might be nice to show everyone what they're like. And they are much stronger then the pedestal mount I always loved the shaft mount rockers of the LA engines
