I am putting together a 512 with trickflow 240 heads. The valve tip alignment is off. Since i already have the harland sharp rockers, id hate to have to buy another set to address this. Is there any other way? Ive heard about B3 racing making offset shims, but is that the best option? I added a couple pictures of what i am talking about.

The cam is fairly agressive, .588/.606 solid flat tappet, so im thinking it not contacting in the center of the valve stem wont last very long.

Not sure how many of you fellas still check here, but what the heck!

As the valve is opened, the roller will swipe towards the rocker arm shaft. Check the roller contact position at full valve lift.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

I would try to contact a member on here named "Challenger340." He would probably have an answer for you. Some of his builds have had TF heads.

Yes, I know I have too many cars. My wife reminds me daily.

:iagree: though I hope this conversation doesn't go behind closed doors.

I'm using the shorter S70015KE arms on my Trick Flow 240s. They do center better on the valve than the regular S70015K.

Some of them broke and I ended up replacing them with the longer regular Harland Sharps. Yeah, I have 14 short rockers and two longer ones. It seems to really only effect the roller position on the valve  :shruggy:

I ended up finding a set of the harland sharp rockers specific for the trick flow heads. In doing so I ended up running a 1.6 ratio.
