Rule "of thumb" is minimum thread length must exceed bolt (stud) diameter. For a 7/16" stud, have at least 1/2" thread above the trundle. Assure rocker arm geometry (pushrod length) before measuring this.

I surely dont want to jack-thread, but heres what happen with my Proform roller rockers and a word of advice.... I was told to stay away from these rockers, tried them anyway as they were cheap. All 16 of them are cracked, one summer, 1500miles, only a handful of pass at the strip. I can nick them with a fingernail....
Keep a close eye on them...

We busted up a set of Scorpion roller rockers in a "race" application.
Rule of thumb for any fastener is 5 full turns to achieve full strength of the nut or fastener. For a rocker arm locknut, I would make sure they are not less than 5 turns when you reach the correct adjustment.....Cliff

Nothing 'major' here. I dont want to offend anyone using these rockers, but they are junk. I now use Harland Sharp 1.65 and PRW steel roller rockers. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.
