Grant,

Which style rocker arms are we talking about... the "boat" style or the
"cast" style (which look like folded metal) with the replaceable bushing.
I have a set of both handy at home and will measure them tonight once I
know which one we are looking at.  What's the year and serial number of the
engine?

I believe the specs you mentioned are for the older cast style rocker and
not the newer boat style.  The boat style are *much* looser... almost
sloppy one could say.  That's just they way they're designed.

Regards,

John L.
