They do have wide rod holes. Not really sue that is a good thing either. Could be enough slop to get the roller tip traveling all over the place.

I would not use them.

What is the deal with the rocker stud installation. Do it yourself? Or done at a shop? Are you sure you checked the water jacket allighment with the heads? It is safe to take the heads off and re-use the head gaskets if the engine has not been started yet.

The water jacket thing can be a real problem if it was not addressed. It maybe the other way around though... a 289 block with 302 heads, but I can't really remember????
