Default Roller rockers

Hello everyone,
Im sorry if this is already somewhere else, but I have the dart shp 200cc heads, i know the pushrods are offset, but I dont know which rocker arms to get, if all need offsets and how much offset. I looked everywhere and there are different answers for how offset they are. I will also call dart and ask tomorrow if needed

Appreciate any help,
Thank you

Valve guides are moved .030" apart from stock. No special rocker is required. The specified split guide plate is required.

Some people do not weld the guide plates together once everything is lined up, but I would.

FWIW - I did need to grind the out side of the intake ports on my last set of IE heads where they ran too close to the pushrods. Not happy about it but that is what we have to do.

Never had a torqued rocker stud come loose on me but I use ARP only, so never had an adjustable guideplate move either. Seal your intake studs or they can possibly seep oil into the runner.

Comp/Dart adj guideplates are too tight in my opinion, I like Isky or Jomar 3 piece

Unless it's a high RPM/Power deal I wouldn't worry bout offset rockers/lifters.

I had the Dart SHP 180's. Same issue with somewhat offset. They only send the solid guide plates. What I did was take and cut the solid guide plates almost in two between the pushrods leaving a small area still connected and then bent them away from each other until the rockers sat on top of the valve stems properly. Then remove the guide plate and weld it into that position. label each one so you know where it goes.
Either that or get the split guide plates.
