Re: 383 Stroker, fresh build, rocker stud broken...

I am going to through this out, cause your here. Coil bind. What is your ratio on the rockers and are the valve springs binding due to lift, or not enough clearance with the seat pocket.

This part is something I personally was not aware of from Scott:

Many aftermarket heads with 195cc or bigger intake ports will cause the intake side of the rocker arm to be slightly cockeyed. This is very common. Several head companies have this notice on their website. This picture shows the intake way off. But, often times when one rocker, valve spring, or pushrod fails on a cylinder, the other gets knocked out of whack from the back pressure or firing of a valve suddenly slamming shut.

That is not how I want to build my next engine. What is the Head manufacturer?
