Default Crane Kool Nuts?

Anyone using these on a BB? Are you using your stock valve covers? I'd like to keep my stock covers.

What about "double nutting" the rocker arm to the stud?

Want to know what other options/brands/solutions are out there.

I have them on my SB and they have worked great for 5 years so far. Never had one back off.

You wouldn't happen to have a picture of them installed? How far do they protrude above the rocker?

I could yank a valve cover and get a picture but the ystick up probably about 3/8 of an inch above the top of the stud. The locking part is the set screw. However tall the set screw is is the amount it will stick up over the top of the stud. I am also running Comp Cams roller tip arms, has nothing to do with the height though.
