rocker studs

When changing from stock rocker arms to roller rocker on a BBC does the cocker studs need to be changed as well, for a longer set.

It has to be changed more for the type of material they are made from and the top of the stud is machined flat for the poly locks for the roller rockers. If you use the stock stud the locks will somtimes come loose because they are not flat enough in some cases.

If you have a Gen VI engine, you dont even have studs. You have 3/8" shoulder bolts.
