Vortec Heads, Rocker Arm Studs, Rocker Arms, and Stamped Steel Valve Covers

[eficonnection]

After reading information on the forum about Vortec heads, rocker arm studs, rocker arms, and valve covers, I'm finding conflicting information.

I'm working with Vortec heads that will accept M10x1.5 studs. I need studs. What should I use? How about the ARP studs? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/arp-100-7201

What are my 1.5 rocker arm choices? Can I use Comp Cams 1015-12? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/cca-1015-12

I will be using the stamped steel valve covers. Any issues here?

Please advise. Thanks

Studs- I am not sure of what I was using, I'll check

Rockers- any self- aligning set should work. A V8 kit may be cheaper. I went with the Comp pro magnums, but previously ran the pro comp self aligning rockers.

Valve covers- the corner gasket ridges hit the covers, if you trim the outer edge of the covers they will sit flat and compress fully.
