eddy heads and what rockers to use?
I might be the isolated example here, but I tried to run Crane rollers on my Eddy's and the contact pattern on the valve stem was almost to the edge of the valve! I would have had to shim the rockers and possibly use lash caps. Not to mention buy ANOTHER set of custom pushrods. The block wasn't decked, the heads are new and un-milled, and I was using an .063 (IIRC) FelPro head gasket. The cam is a Comp dual pattern .488/.491. I would STRONGLY suggest you check everything while it's still a non-runner and you can pull it apart easily if there's any problems. As far as just bolting it all together, it didn't work for me.
I yanked the rollers out and installed a stock shaft, pushrods, & rocker set-up.
Sunofabitch runs just fine..... :-D
