I bought a set of Ultima billet rocker box's and the precision used for the rocker shafts and bolts are as tight as can be. No room for lockers or anything else. The way the Moco should of built them. For me worth the price.

I sure wish you would show me how you did it as I've never been able to get the middle rocker box out without doing the jigsaw method to get it out!!!
