The shop manual for a 55 235 and my Motors manual for late 50's pass car shows the rocker numbers to be 3,4,7,8 but mine are 5,6,7,8. The master parts manual 29-57 shows 5,6,7,8 with a revision as of Nov 57.Does 5,6,7,8 sound right? Also one of the #6 has a much smaller hole on top. Should I drill it out the same as the others? Also I assume the left-right thing is looking from the manifold side?
Thanks again. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 | Chev changed numbers and vent hole size and position a number of times. I would not worry about that. There are left and right intake and exhaust rockers. Here is a pic of how they are laid out.

Mine are scored beyond repair. I have come across a lot of weird differences in this engine compared to those manufactured before and after 1953. It appears to be a transitional (bastard) engine.
