How much clearance should you have between the rocker arm and the spring retainer? I have Crower springs and retainers and Comp Cams roller tip rockers. I have roughly .006 clearance with the rockers adjusted. Is this too tight??

Sounds pretty tight. I had a similar problem with my setup using Comp Cams roller tips. To make a long story short, I ended up getting a set of Scorpion roller rockers. They fit much better with a little cutout in the back and more clearance on top. I also had to re-check my geometry and needed new pushrods. Last but not least, If you want to run stock valve covers with the Scorpions, get yourself 2 sets of 1/4 gaskets...Have fun...

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
