Default Loose Steel Rocker Arm Nuts

During the rebuild of my 350, I installed a set of Crane steel rocker Arms, pivot ***** and adjusting nuts.

When I installed the nuts, they did not take much torque to loosen or tighten up. Sinnce, they have become loose on several occasions, requiring re-adjustment which is a pain in the ___.

I have never had this problem before.

Has anyone experienced this problem? and what was the corrective action taken?

I am thinking of using a jam nut over the top of the adjusting nut.

Thanks,

gm

You have a good idea.

Some times you can't see the forest for the trees.

Thankx,
