Metal in oil

Looking at the first drivers side pictures the rocker arms, 4 left-4 right might not be in
the correct place. 1 looks like it is off to one side of the valve tip. The intake rocker
pushrod pocket should be offset away from the intake port pair. Same with the exaust.
Wrong location with the stamped rockers is the #1 assembly screw up I have found
over the years. They will run but it is not right, or the factory would not have 8 lefts
and 8 rights. Someone with a better eye or a better direct down picture might help
him check. 17,000 miles if they are wrong need a new set. On this engine the stamped
rockers are way better than cheap rollers, just say'in.

PS: wrong location causes more ware. Magnet dust?

Hi Rick
Better pics of drivers side
Unfortunately I closed up passenger side today

So you’re saying my rockers are the stamped type and they’re good?
Hope these pics help you see what you’re looking for
AND I hope like hell they’re not installed wrong
Engine is a Crate motor from TRISTAR and they’re pretty reputable… but hey they’re also human
Close up photos are both ends and then the middles
Thanks for any insight
