Rocker arms.

So I bolted my heads on the block lastnight and can't find my rocker arms, after tearing the garage apart I realize I never got them back with my heads. So I call the guy that did them and sure enough he has them, so I pick them up today and go to clean them up to put them on and I am missing one of the pieces that go between the arm and the nut, kinda looks like a washer that is pointed on one side. So I do not know if I can get one of those pieces or if I have to get a new set of rocker arms? Anyone have any ideas, or know what rocker arms I should get if I have to replace them all. I am running a stock motor, with a waller rebuilt turbo if that makes a difference. Please any help would be great. Thanks

Re: Rocker arms.

Sounds like all you're missing is the pivot. Just take another rocker assembly to compare. If it's just stock parts, they're sold rocker, nut, and pivot together, under $5 I think.

Re: Rocker arms.

Do you mean from a deal I can get it? Does it matter if it is for a Ty or can I say it is just a 4.3?

Guess I'd play it safe and ask for one for a Ty, but it should be the same as a 4.3 v6. I've bought them before from parts stores, they're cheap and readily available.

Re: Rocker arms.

Ok so a local parts store should have it then not just the dealer, because when I went to the dealer for head gaskets they were discontinued. I hope this is not the same deal.

Re: Rocker arms.

NAPA and CARQUEST would be my first check. If not then try AutoZone or Advance. These are common to millions of small block chevy and 4.3 V6 engines. The head gaskets were specific to the SyTy so that's a totally different situation.
