    Bought some 1.9 modified rockers and I was sent this:

    As you can tell from the picture the pediastal is broken. Will it still be OK to install or should this be a cause for concern?



    The person also says that I can just use stock pediastals and that it's just the rockers that are modified. Can anyone confirm this?

    I thought they modded the pedistal's as well...or ground them down a little to match.

    I mean, you can always yank out the stockers and set them next to each other and see worst case scenario ya know?

    Good call. You could use one of your stockers and grind more clearance into the pushrod reliefs to match the modded one

    They do grind them a decent bit to match. So I wouldn't use stockers or the broken one obviously
