Rocker to Retainer with Pictures

yellow rose said

Do NOT grind the rocker. Your springs aren’t big enough to warrant that, and it should NEVER be done.

Figure out why the geometry is off and fix that.

If you need help talk to Mike at B3racingengines.com and let him help you.

The rocker arm is no place to use a grinder.

Thanks for that reply. I think this is a result of having a part that was designed for a much smaller diameter spring/retainer combo and using it with a larger diameter spring and retainer.

I know there are rocker arms that have pushrod and retainer clearances machined into them depending on the application. I am definitely not going to spin the grinder unless no other reasonable option is available.
