The nylocs should not beused as heat and oil cause them to back off.
Only the swedged steel friction nuts should be used on Rockers. I
realize some have used the nylocs but my experience is tha they are
crap. Posi locks have a set screw that guarentees no backing off after
tightened. LOOK ON Tigersunited.com for the lunatis stroker build up to
see what posi locks look like in the cylinder head section.

        Theo,

        With the Twisted wedge heads and the raised rail I was able to
still run the
        baffles but had to modify them for the posi lock bolts. It was
easy to do but
        I do not know how tough that would be with the stock valvecover
rail height. I
        do know they make some thicker heavy rubber gaskets with a steel
shim that may
        be a bolt in correction with no grinding. As I recall the gasket
provided a <
        inch height.



        Best Regards,
