7 rockers are hitting the valve stem on the far left side. Switch brands and the problem goes away.

Only "bolt-ons" I've ever had any luck with were a set of 34dd's. >:D

But then again... what those were attached to, gave me headaches. :banghead:

Did you torque the studs with oil on the threads and dry hex head?

You have t set the guide plates up to align the rods to the rocker path. I have literally had to make a tool that is a lot like a spoke wrench to "tweak" the vertical portion of the guide plate to get them to work.

If you torqued them dry (with oil on the threads) it sometimes straightens them right out while being torqued.

This is not an uncommon issue, with anybody's plates. My Comp set did the same thing.

Also, were the holes the right size? they are supposed to be like an 1/8" larger than the stud shank.

Hi GT! Yes and yes. 049 stock iron heads, stock GM studs, 3/8 pushrods, and 3/8 guides. Everything was oiled. I had almost no adjustment in the guideplates. I torqued to 50 lb ft. I put the stockers back in and everything lined up perfectly.
