Cool. Post some videos when you get a chance to as well. Truck **** is always good. Lol.

Also are you running the roller rockers yet? If so, how do you think they are performing?

Rockers are not quite finished yet, first set hit valve covers. So we worked up the drawings in 3D Cad and a new test set will be here first of the week. Then the final set will be made. The rockers will not have self adjusters just not enough room under the valve covers, but that is fine with me once push rods are measured for no need for adjustability.

Ah that makes sense. Any idea what size of push rods you will need?

Not until I measure for them on the motor, but will be shorter than the factory push rods.

When something is being designed that doesnt currently exist how is it redesigning the whole valve train?

My Rockers are on the way back

Hey Excite,

I sent back the rocker I had on Friday with the corrections. I am calling Harland on Tuesday to pay for the set. My machine shop will also be calling Harland as well to work out the details. I had a set back with my wife and daughter being in a car accident. I am interested in the performance you are getting and videos would be great since our builds are almost the same.

I was sorry to hear about thier accident. I have been working with Mike at Harland Sharp on the design for the rockers. They are sending out a pair to me to test fit again and should be the final test fit, then they should be ready to make these.
