I think I found the problem... My 'rocker adjustment nuts' are not long enough. I should of noticed this when I put them on but I guess I didn't.

When I go to put the socket on the adjustment nut , to tighten it, the bottom of the socket hits the rocker. I can't get a good 'bite' on the adjustment nut. So I either need a longer adjustment nut or wider roller tip rockers so I can actually fit a socket on the nut.

Do they make 'adjustment nuts that are longer or would you recommend getting different roller tip rockers? I can not do the running valve adjustment unless I have longer 'adjustment nuts' or a rocker wide enough that it actually allows me to fit the socket on the nut. I cut the valve cover and started the motor. I actually watched one of the adjustment nuts start backing up. On another rocker the set screw almost backed all the way out.

Thanks!
