RE:Blue Oval is the place for me..

I can tell you that Blue Oval Performance is the place to get your rocker arm stud kits. They're knowledgable, responsive, and competitive. They build all Ford engines and they supply all that they can.

I called ARP before dealing with Blue Oval asking about a FE rocker shaft stud kit and I got a major "Duh, we don't make that..." Thanks to an e-mail from a satisfied Blue Oval customer I found out where to go.

You can't tell much from those pics I posted yesterday in relation to HP intakes but my Rocker Arm Specialist rocker sets are attached with Blue Oval studs for cast iron heads. There's a difference.

Dallas, you asked Rob and he can explain the benefits of studs over bolts better than I can. But if I was called on to answer my simplistic reasoning would be that the torque stress is placed more in/on the stud instead of the threads in the rocker bolt holes. What I liked was just setting the rocker set on the studs, a little minor adjusting of the spacers and the set drops down nice and square. A little adjusting and that's it. On go the special washers & nuts. Torque evenly and you're ready to adjust your valves.....oh, do set the pushrods in the lifters first.

This thread, so far...
