gap between rocker arms????

[woody02]

I installed a set of prw roller rocker arms on my 440.Edelbrock rpm heads, hydrolic cam.
Here is my concern.... The gap between rocker arms is 1/8-1/4 inch of side to side movement.is this acceptable? The roller head always stays in contact with the valve stem head, so it seems it would be fine .however will it make noise when running?

There should be spacer rings that fit in between the intake/exhaust rocker set. Did you use those?

 

[woody02]

Yes I did

I think you will be ok if you used everything that came with the kit. Noise won't be an issue either

sorry woody and it just an opinion, inhale some o2 and get rid of the prw,s, get quality rollers or you cant go wrong with a set of max wedge style adj. rockers like crane or the older isky,s. then shim accordingly. good luck.

my latest cranes came with springs and thin washers to take up any slack.mounts are mopar perf.

Should be shimmed a little tighter...

Agreed, mine are say way tighter than that. The roller tip needs to be centered on the valve and have about .015 end play.
