Re: Need advice on fixing broken rocker stud on Big Block..

Just an update....

Got all my parts in and started taking thing apart. The old rocker studs are all gouged and nicked, so I feel good about replacing them all. The rockers glide very smooth over the new studs.

Pulled my first valve spring and the new stem seals I got don't fit over the valve guide....so I'm going to try some O.E. replacement umbrella style seals from my local parts store (which of course are not in stock, so I have to wait for them to arrive)

Here are the old springs (left) compared to the new ones (right)
