    After 4 runs, 8 warm ups I have 2 exhaust rockers with damaged tips. The rockers are the standard Chrysler 426 style, not rollers. Motor is a KB 461 1/2 deck, AJ heads. Anyone have an idea why this is happening? ALSO, in replacing them are there different degree arms and what if they are mixed in? The replacement rockers look the same at an eyes comparison.

    THX,

    Jim,

    I agree. You and I discussed this that day. You showed me the abnormal wear pattern however, there was an aditional rocker arm damaged as well. It simply patterned the lash lock, not bad but obviouse. As you and I discussed last night it appears I bought a very well used set of rockers. Oh well, live and learn right. I have replaced both damaged peices and removed the pattern from the other with a dremel tool. I should be ready to go and will keep an eye on all of them.

    Thanks podno,

    PS, lets load your funny and set the track record in Virginia?
