Speedmaster Rockers

I spoke to Mike at one point and was told you have to clearance the head for the pushrod if you use one of his kits. So if you've bolted the heads on, go ahead and order another set of head gaskets first.
Not on a slant 6! lol
 
Did this turn into another slant story? Love ya CrustyCatRod but we be talkin bout V8's.:poke:
 
Just start out with B3 racing. The relocation of the shafts will require machining of the shafts hold down holes to accommodate the relocation. Hardened shafts are on the menu and B3 is a good option for that.
 
Pics in post #13 is a failure waiting to happen....
Maybe. The first picture shows what they looked like before I did anything to them and at the third I was almost done, so I didn't really remove much.

My thinking was that I had two options. Either just buy new rockers that would work, or try to make the ones I had work. If they fail I'll just get good ones like I should have from the beginning.

I’m wondering if you might have this backwards. Pushrod clearance on my build was a problem before the b3 kit, but not after. I did not need to clearance the heads.

No, I already had the heads bolted on when I talked to Mike and that is why the topic came up. I have no pushrod clearance problem with my E-heads and no B3 kit. Maybe it's different on every setup.

He told me the same thing - the larger the correction means there's better odds of having pushrod clearance issues on aftermarket heads that have tighter pushrod tunnels. If I remember correctly, he also said it's more of an issue with higher than stock rocker ratios. Nothing a touch with a burr won't fix though.
