You can get poly locks and set screws fot it but the stock ones are adjusted with the regular GM crimped nut.

If you're getting a performance cam and springs, then I would finish it off with some hardened pushrods and guideplates, then get some ARP 7/16 rocker studs and some new 1.6 rockers.

The STOCK LT4 rocker arms are NOT adjustable. Replace the rocker arm studs and then you can adjust 'em.

EDIT: I should elaborate. The stock LT4 rocker studs are shouldered so the stock rockers can be torqued to a certain spec. Plus, the stock studs are 10mm which is a bit more than 3/8 inch. Aftermarket rockers may not fit. Make sure you get matching studs with your new rocker arms.

The factory LT4s use a 10mm tapered stud for the rocker arms. The retaining nut for these rocker arms is torqued to spec. They are not adjustable.
