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.------------------
