1972 Dodge Colt

Stan, I would definitely install a stock set of rockers and check it before removing the head. Then you will know if it is the rockers touching something when you draw it down, or if it is actually something to do with the bolts. ( which I can't imagine) You could clean everything well and put a little bit of clay on those two rockers or the valve cover and turn it over and see what you got. Good luck!

I was going to suggest a dab of grease on top of the adjusters.

Is the cam hydraulic or solid?
