True, most chevies have pressed in studs for the rockers, but some do come
with screw in studs. I heard the screw in types are stronger, but then
again, it's only a chevy engine, why bother knowing. hehe
As for your over valve design. Wouldn't that be like a honda's overhead cam?
where it's shaft mounted rockers? maybe I'm wrong. wait a minute. hondas
don't even HAVE rockers. I think the cam just spins around and the cam
lobes would push down on the valve spring/stem. how DO the new 4.7 heads
look? you got me pondering now.

<< I have a stethoscope already. My Dakota 4.7 might have rocker studs but
I hope not. I'm not to familiar with it yet. Other Mopars I am
familiar with have rocker shafts which just bolt down, spacers can be
used to back off preload. Chevy engines have those studs which pull
themselves out. They are only pressed in and not very tight at all.
Everyone I've worked on needed screw in stud replacements to hold set.
Wait a minute, 4.7 is supposed to be overhead cam, it shouldn't have
studs does it ? Are you guys talking about a Mopar engine here ? I
gotta get a Shop Manual for mine still, never seen inside this new
design yet.
Thanks,
