Roller rocker question

I know this is probably a dumb question that I will probably end up answering my self but I'll ask it anyway to be sure. When I'm installing my roller rockers do I just put them on the stud or do I use that Washer type thing with the hemispherical shape on the one side (I don't know the specific name for the piece) I can get a picture If it is needed.

Re: Roller rocker question

just rockers and must have LOCKING NUT....you also need self-aligning rockers or pushrod guides.Also you must tighten the nuts on roller rockers accoding to instructions...usually 1/2 turn past touching pushrod....do a search on adjusting roller rockers for more details. also...did you get roller tip or full roller rockers??? because roller tip should be same as stock. hope that helps a little

Re: Roller rocker question

make sure the nut touches the flat part of roller....the rounded part faces down...
