I have a set of solid shaft rocker arms that have the adjustment on the pushrod side, not on the valve.
I am just wondering if this is common practice in aftermarket rockers or something unusual. |

more common on ratio rockers. Prob 1.4s or 1.5s. check the lift vs your cam card to see what the ratio is.

Thanks guys.
Any way to tell exactly what they are? They came with a motor that was disassembled so I have no documents.
If it helps a FK65 cam was in the same box of engine parts. |
