How did you set the preload with the engine running?
Im assuming the rockers are the same as the TA roller rockers for the 350 Buick (shaft mounted) and the preload adjustment being done at the pushrod cup. I tried adjusting mine on my 350 motor with it running and the "mechanical shock" of the rocker arm made me loose my grip on the allen wrench :eek: Just curious, Mark
