Does anybody have any regrettable encounters first or secondhand, with the ZZ502? Over the top oil utilization, unfortunate workmanship, and so forth? I'm thinking about buying one and simply maintain that should get my work done. I will likely add a Holley C950 EFI to it. Stringently road use.

From what you've described, it's possible that the rocker arm nuts were not torqued to the correct specifications during assembly. You'll need to return them to the specifications outlined in the service manual. It's also a good idea to check if the threads are in good condition.
