Any updates on the stud / rocker issue? What did you end up doing to resolve it? Were you able to get enough thread engagement to equal the stud diameter?

I installed the longer ARP studs and hardware. 5 1/4 turns is juuuust equal to the stud diameter so I think I will be OK. I ran the car and it sounded good but have not been able to take the car out yet on the road. it did smoke a little from having no intake valve opening while the car was running without the rocker. Hopefully I can put some miles on it and see if it holds together. (fingers crossed)
