Mike, make sure you check those for clearance by turning the motor over by hand before you close it up. i had to clearance my #7 exhaust rocker because it was too close to the inside edge of the head for comfort.

Thanks Ed!
I did check and they seem OK. I did turn the motor over couple times and did not hear any weird noise.
They guy told me this is the newly design.

What happen if they really touch?

Makes you wish you had plexi valve covers. Same thing happened to me when I purchased the Excedy clutch. I did not know if I should install it in the car or hang it on the wall.

Sounds like you're OK. If one did rub, it could possibly throw the rocker and it's mate off alignment. Eventually, that could cause the roller to eat through the rocker arm and destroy it. You can check the ends of the rockers nearest the head wall to see if they've made contact. The orange anodizing will be rubbed off.

As I said, sounds like your's are fine. Nice job.
