I also did do any eyeball test on the stud heights. They all appeared close on each bank. I took a straight edge with me, the most I could see was maybe a quarter inch difference, really most where within an eighth though. I couldnt really tell on the springs, I was hoping to get a pic for ya Pat.

I did see some scarring on the outside of the #1 topside rocker(bronze color wore off, bare metal shows) . It looked as if it was rubbing the valve cover. I didnt see anything on the valve cover though. Also most rockers have the same type scarring on the around the stud and lock nut. I assume that is likely normal. But I don't know, you guys tell me.

well they can get marked up around the poly nuts if your not care full . the rocker rubbing is common deal with most all roller rockers were the body is wide and cast covers they can rub. rolling the rocker body on a belt sander is a common it hurts nothing to do this .some makers of roller rockers now make two rockers out of the set that are rounded off
