Hello all,I recently purchased a set of comp cams 5/16-3/8 screw in studs & adjustable guide plates for my iron gt40 heads & roller rockers. I bought the right length pushrods to get the geometry strait,centered each rocker then carefully torqued each stud down using red locktite.My question is has anyone on here run this same setup? and have you had any valvetrain trouble over a period of time with the studs backing out? I'm a little paranoid about that, I thought about even going as far as tack welding the studs and guideplates in place to prevent any possibility of loosening up.Is this overkill?I'm running a single trickflow spring & dampner so there's no extreme valvespring pressure. thanks in advance...
