I am saying there is a potential for trouble.

By Royce Peterson - 12/02/2002 11:45:29 AM; IP 66.161.203.49

The non adjustable rockers work in the all stock motor because the geometry is close enough using all new factory parts. Change anything and it can be wrong in a hurry.

While you know how much it got milled THIS time you can't know how many times the engine or heads were rebuilt in the past. You probably don't know how thick the current head gaskets are compared to the originals. You probably don't know if the base circle on the cam is the same as the original. All these things can add up to trouble that is most easily solved by installing adjustable rocker assemblies.

After the heads were rebuilt could you lay a straight edge on the valve tips and see no gap on any of them? It's possible to use non adjustable rockers if the machine work is damn good and you check everything along the way.
