Rocker Stands For Magnum Valve Train??

The pattern is deceptive. What hughes told you should be happening. The rocker should start on the valley side offcenter, at mid-lift be exh port side offcenter, and then at max lift be back where you started. The rocker follows an arc and mid lift should be the farthest point towards the exh side. That rocker needs to go up IMO. Because you start inside and never come back. So you're never reaching the 90° perpendicular point between rocker and valve stem. That means lost lift at the valve (very small amount) but much more important is you're side-loading the stem. It places more stress on rockers and wears out guides quickly. Studs may need to be longer and watch your valve cover baffles.

Moper,

I raised the rocker on the stud over 3/4 of an inch in small increments and the tip never did what you are saying that it should. Dave at hughes said on the magnum head this normally happens with between .650-.700 of lift and his reasoning was that the stud is too close to the spring and if it was moved out a bit toward the intake or valley then it would be more likely to happen...........???????? I will look at it again and measure the amount of lift I am getting, but I am sure that it just will not happen I checked for over an Hour.

Where would you purchase a longer stud?? It would need to be at least 1.25 inches bigger I am guessing because 3/4 of an inch did nothing??
