I have a 68 charger r/t 440 hp2 motor 67 915 closed chamberd heads.  My question is  should I have a left and a right rocker per cylinder ?
I have a hollow tick comming up the intake and out the carb.  I pulled the valve covers and seen all left rockers and one right.  Some of the
push rods are rubbing on the wall of the head.  When I bought the car it was in pieces and I did a ground up on her.  When I look at the
rocker all the dimpels for the push rods are on the right side of the rocker accept for one which is on the left.  :rotz:

Yep, you have mismatched rocker arms which will cause pushrod interference with the cylinder head (rubbing)  :P

Why not buy a set of HD stamped rockers ? Mancini has the whole set for a reasonable price and these are reinforced in the cup area for additional strength.  :2thumbs:

Thanks for the advice, I will order new rockers left and right and some new push rods.
