Crane Rocker arm clearance on Iron heads issue

A ten gallon fuel cell would mean a lot of stops at the gas station!

To be clear the shafts were on a set of X heads but now they are on a set 974 360 heads. What puzzles me is that the same shaft that will rub on the number 1 exhaust will not do this if I swap it to the other head. I have checked all the thicknesses on the spacers and rockers and they are all within .001 of each other. I also dont want to kick that one to the right as the roller sit of to the side on that valve.

Have you measured the width of the standoffs? Those may be wider.

I would call Mike as stated above. He will provide free advice, he is as great resource
