Jim, I was just wondering when it became legal to weld or customize stock rockers??
When we went to Indy in '04 with the 350 Buick, I had already split a couple of rockers at the shaft hole. I wonder how long we would have lasted in teardown if I had welded a bridge piece across the top of my rockers to strengthen them up?
Let's do a poll:
5 seconds
10 seconds
15 seconds

Mark, The answer is 5 seconds. Don't know why they're allowed but as long as they are we're using them. They are THE fix for the pushrod thru the rocker problem. Two sets on two motors and no failier for two seasons. Well made and worth the price especially considering what it costs to do these motors.--------Danny
