How to install rocker studs included with edelbrock aluminum rpm head?

LovetheA's said

It appears as if I have to install the 2 rocker studs along with the hardware included on my edelbrock aluminum performer rpm heads. In the installation instructions it doesn’t explain specifics on what hardware goes where when installing the studs, washers, nuts and what appears to be spacers on the heads. There are two rocker shaft pedestals that have to be fitted with the hardware and I need to know in what order the parts go on and where? I have included two pics. One shows the rocker studs and hardware and the other shows one of the rocker’s pedestals it goes on. Any help appreciated.

It sure seems odd that they only gave you two rocker studs and two shims. I've only used all bolts on stock hold downs on stock motors or all studs on either my T & D shafts or my Hughes rockers. Those are very similar looking to head studs in this picture, but they are actually rocker hold down studs.

The course threaded ends go into the head. The large shims are used on the sides of the rocker arms to set-up side clearance on the rocker arms and protect the aluminum stands from wear.

If it were me, I would have a high quality machine shop go over the heads to verify that they are set-up, clearanced and have a high quality accurate valve job, and then call Mike at B3 Racing Engines to assist you with getting your rocker arms set-up properly with the right hold downs and hardware.
