Can anyone give me a lesson on the benefits of a solid rocker spacer as opposed to the stock springs? I saw a set on ebay and I'm confused now.

With the double springs you need to run the spacers. I would have a local shop make some and have them speced to your rocker spacing. The ones I had were a little short and so the rockers had some excess side play. You could here the rockers moving side to side when the engine was running. With custom made spacers you can tailor the length to your engine.
I never had a problem but you may want to upgrade the rocker studs in the head to something bigger. |
