Re: SBC Rocker arm tick

Forgot to mention - all new rocker arm nuts also. But that gives me an idea - what if the threads on that stud are bad? All this work and I don't recall inspecting them that closely. I'll take a closer look today.

However... seeing that you tried swapping over the rocker and the nut, I'm at a loss.
