Yeah, the poly locks are like a 1/4" too short, the hex portion ends up making contact on the rocker body. There was slight contact on a number of the rockers, only like 3 or so were actually gouged.

You can see too the set screws aren't all the way into the poly lock body, makes me a little nervous.

You can buy poly locks separately, but not sure manufacturers list lengths, so it would be a trial and error thing finding the right set. Not even sure it would be clear what length is needed, since it's like the threaded portion of the lock needs to be X from the bottom of the lock, then there's the overall length. And it needs to fit under kind of short valve covers too. Not sure if Harland Sharps fit under these covers either, been a while since I've actually seen a Harland Sharp rocker in person, and I've never used these cover.

I know the Crowers will fit, and will last forever, so, no biggie.

Thought for a sec that maybe the slot in the rockers could be clearanced, but it looked like it would require enough to where it would compromise integrity, so didn't even suggest it.
