factory valve train
Hi everyone. I seem to always have issues with my roller tip rockers. First on my rocket 350 now on my 455. Where is a good place to get/find factory style stuff. Its for a 69 olds 455. Thanks in advance.

The cam is a Crower grind 284dhp that is 229/236@050 and 520/528 lift. This is an area i'm not real familiar with. I bought this motor from a guy and these are the specs he gave me.

You can't use the factory rockers with that much lift.
