CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - SBC valve train issue

Mike, some good suggestions. Also, on the damaged valve tip, I think I'll use a LT1 self centering rocker arm hopefully to keep that out of further trouble.

Ed, I'm running IHRA Pure Stock and aren't allowed screw-in studs. Crummy rule, but that's why they call it pure stock.

Rich & Ron, I will look at the cam & lifters but, hopefully the hyd. lifters cushioned any possible damage there. With a .390/.410 lift cam at stock duration, interference shouldn't be an issue. I hope.

I know I should pull the head, and I may have to, but I'm trying to get away without doing that.

Thanks for the responses.
