Most of the rocker arm studs you can buy aftermarket like ARP, etc are designed for the adjustable style, I am guessing that for performance builds people want the adjustable feature. So if you wanted the rocker arm studs for the non-adjustable style you might need to go with OEM.
The later Vortecs that have the roller rocker bearings, have a totally different style, there is a bolt that goes through the roller rocker assembly to retain the whole works, no stud like the earlier styles.

Hey People, just wondering if there is an up or down When placing this gasket on the block. The only marking is Marine on one side. Both sides are not the same.

Thanks,

Ken

I used Fel Pro on mine, trying to remember from when I did it like 9 years ago...both cylinder heads are actually the same casting. Try it both ways, see if it fits better one way vs the other. Does it seem to line up better with the Marine label showing?
Also before you bolt up those heads, make sure the cyl head bolt threads are CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN and that the bolts all thread all the way in!

In most cases the label faces up or they have an imprint listing top
