Eddy heads on 416 stroker question

Mad Dart said

My opinion is that the Magnum Style set up is WEAK and I would never use it to be totally honest. I went that route before and could never get the sweep on the valve to be correct not to mention Valve Train Stability issues with the Magnum Stlye 'Chevy" Rocker gear. With bigger camshafts and high spring pressures guys have RIPPED the studs right out of the head that hold the Rocker in place. With the Shaft style not so. No need for pushrod guides or girdles etc when using the shaft mount. If and this is only IF I had to use the magnum style rockers I would use these......

Your claims seem to be a little biased....
1. You don't need guides or girdles when using self alining rockers I believe.
2. I haven't heard of anyones rockers ripping off, nor do I see guys with magnum heads and roller cams complaining or even chevy ford guys.
3. I have had no issues with measuring for pushrods.
4. I am just saying each has their own opinion and experiences, choose what you feel comfortable using.
5. Benefit of the RHS heads are they make closed chambered heads with both styles, I don't know if it's like that for Eddies.
6. Using the example of big camshafts and ripping the rockers out (even if true) shouldn't effect his decision if he isn't even going close to your definition of a "bigger camshaft".

Also I am not experienced as most in here, but I do have a better experience with the magnum stuff.
