Adjustable rockers adjusters problem?..

Wow, lets keep in mind unless we are talking about engines that are being raced this is all moot point.

With my 273 the new springs were larger diameter than the original ones, they rubbed the stock rockers. Nothing with the geometry CHANGED from the factory specs, is it perfect? who knows, who cares, it is factory and it is a street engine.

Grinding the surface of the rocker to give the stud lock nut needed to be good not absolutely flawless.

Grinding the armpit of the rocker (mostly just the casting line) for clearance isn't going to hurt the rocker or create a week point on a street engine.

The problem with the springs was that the diameter was different not the height and has zero impact on changing geometry. If this isn't clear people need to go back to school and take geometry again. It is the same geometry that is applied to valves.
