Just one more question, before i noticed they were rubbing while turning the motor over a couple of the rockers were gouged a little on the bottom corner edge. I did clean them up so that no more shavings were on them but i was just wondering how safe i would be running these. I'm not running alot of spring pressure, ( less than 600) but i'd just like another opinion.

No they are yella terra rockers and they were hitting on the outside corner, ( number one exhaust rocker) and so on on that side. it was on the outside corner nearest the stud and less than 1/32 was shaved off, really just the corner radius.

I smoothed out the rockers where they had hit and they look to be ok, i cut the studs and all of the clearances are good. With no more pressure on the rockers we're going to give it a shot and keep an eye on them and see what happens
