Rocker arm nuts

[shadowwalker_02]

Started up the 468 the other day and I swore I heard some rocker arms chattering a bit excessively. This isn't surprising as I knew two rocker nuts where iffy at best. They seemed kinda loose when we where tightening em down. My question is, is it ok to just replace two rocker arm nuts rather than replacing them all? They are all brand new never used before. Looking on jegs they sell poly locks individually. Could I get away with having two oddball rocker nuts? My gut says it would be ok but I want to be sure.

Poly locks might not clear a stock valve cover...but I see no reason why you cant use two instead of all 16..if its not kosher I'm sure someoe here will chime in and tell us why...

Do you mean the regular factory type nuts?

I see absolutely no reason why they wont work.

Take the lose nuts. Place them on a solid flat area and smack them with a hammer this will tighten them up
