Y-Guys:     Reed & I cranked my new engine last nite, every thing went well,           

             no evil noises but, several of the rocker nuts are backing off. I bought

             the.003 over ones from Mr. Schuman, but for some reason, they will

             "start" into the rocker and then they try to pull the threads out. I've

             gotten one to work(Vern told me to use them on the most "worn"

              rockers only)

                Does anyone have a suggestion(S) or????? I've got a set with the Lock

            nuts on them but, they're a pain to adjust!

                                                   Thx

                                                    Bill

Bill: re the rocker thread problems. I don't know for sure, but is it possible you are using the .003 oversize interference screws in rockers that were originally the early jamb nut style?. From reading Eickman's Y-Blk book, pages 36 & 37, my impression is that the threads were different. If so that might explain why it damages the threads..
