stamped steel rocker arm delection

gmonde, I run 240 on the seat, 440 open pressure.
wade, I was surprised how much deflection there is in these parts. When I ran the stock size studs you could see them bend turning over the motor! I have since gone to Clark Holroyd's nice stainless thick studs and rockers, but still have deflection.....Clark now welds a re-inforcement onto his rockers above the pushrod seat, like a small bridge across, that might further help....
