So I pulled my engine apart to do the lifters and when my dad came out and looked at everything he noticed the rockers are wearing on the tips, like alot. I had some stock rockers that I didnt use and you can really see a difference, theres definitely material wearing away. Has anyone else had this issue?

I have the isky triple 12 212/212 112 lsa .561 lift and the isky springs stock48 recommended for the cam (cant remember what the number is)

I did some searching and one guy said basically any cam above .550 of lift will start messing up a stock valvetrain but plenty of guys run stock rockers....

The only thing that could be it is I didnt check my pushrod length the first time, I just went with 7.4s cause thats what everyone else said, could too long pushrods cause this?

 

Thats not good. I havent checked mine... might be worth a look.

 

Are they contacting the middle of the valve stem? Is there a nice even wear line down the middle of the valves?

 

Eeek makes me curious how mine is - been spinning 6300 rpm for years with push rods that are little to long still. When I did my motor I was a newbie- didn't know to check or consider milled heads effect length-

You have a pic? I want to see

 

Have the heads had a valve job, or were the rockers not properly torqued down to the head? Do you have pics?

 

Yes the heads had a valve job and valve heights were set

Ill get a pic tomorrow morning

No theres no lines everything has worn evenly

I torqued them all down to 22 with a torque wrench everytime

 

Here they are

 

were all three of those out of the motor or only the one on the right? I'm asking b/c the one on the right has a different wear pattern.
The 2 on the left look like mine did around 110K when I swapped to my rollers

 

the one on the right doesn't look like its hardly even worn. kinda strange.

 

No the one on the right was from the junkyard head i got so its from a sfock motor

Well regardless the rockers dont matter because i bought harland sharps. So is this much wear normal? And my truck before I tore into it has 114k and i dont think my rockers looked like that
