Do you guys think that stock DOOE 351w press in rocker studs will be OK to use with a comp 270h cam (.500) lift ? The heads already have been profesionally ported and have all new valves (1.84/1.54 with a 3 angle valve job. They will be used on a daily driven street car that will get driven hard occasionally.
I will also be using some of the comp cams magnum roller tipped stock type rockers (self aligning).
Thanks

I've used bigger cams without issues. Keep springs around 90-100# at installed height and avoid coil bind and rocker to stud interference at full lift and you should be fine.

Spring pressure will dictate weather they will hold up or not. At 90# or so they should be OK, but I would still rather see them at least pinned.

Very easy to do yourself. Minimal talent or skills required.
You will need some 1/8 roll pins, a good angle drill or a real long bit.
You basically drill a hole through each stud boss and stud about 1/4 to 1/2 inch down.
Then tap the roll pin through until flush.
Just like a distributor drive gear pin.
About 3 hours work for a first timer.
