Default Rocker conflict - help needed (pictures)
Hi. Trying to mount new Scorpion roller rockers that comes in conflict both inside and outside.

* Outside towards the upper head studs. The head studs are not centric between the rocker studs - causes one side of one rocker to conflict.

* Inside towards rocker stud foot.

For the outside conflict I see a solution i changing the four upper head studs with the original bolts, would solve the problem.

For the inside I have no idea????

Is it something I´m missing here? The head in a Brodix IK180, the head bolts are ARP, original pushrods.





Could you please help me out :o

Are you sure you have the correct length pushrods?

The push rods look short. Maybe someone with those heads will have a more complete answer.

Is this what your doing during the long nights?

No, not really, didn´t think of it. Maybe I got to measure for the right pushrod length.
Anybody with a simular setup who have experience about the correct length?

Thats right - six months of winter ahead here in Norway, and nothing else to do at nights. So I got plenty of time to figure it out.......

With certain setups you have to have longer pushrods, rocker studs and longer valve stem lengths

O.k. I have ordered a comp cams check pushrod from Summit (and some other stuff...) starting there. Hope the 1.5 rockers will do o.k. - will come back to it if not. Glad my new avatar didn´t give you chills.
