    350 rocker question

     



    I have a 350 and I bought a set of harland sharp 1.5 roller rocker arms for it. How do you adjust the valves with these installed. I tried adjusting them when it was running but the base of the rocker arm scrubs the head because they really don't make that much noise when you are adjusting them. Do you have to adjust them with the engine off?

    "the base of the rocker arm scrubs the head"

    You're not making any sense here. I can visualize that you're saying that when you turn the adjusting nut clockwise, you can tighten the rocker trunnion down against the rocker stud boss, but what happens when you turn the adjusting nut all the way out counter-clockwise?? You have to get free-play at some point!!!
