I have three questions.

First, is it normal for stud mount FRPP rockers to be at different heights? Meaning that some caps are screwed down further down the stud than others. This is obvious when you look at the depth of the alan stop screw inside the cap.

Second, what thread is the hole at the back left of the intake? My track heat lower has a hole in the back that didn't come with a plug to install. Is this where the ect sensor goes if I had a fox?

Thirdly, when you install new lifters, there is a purge hole in each of the lifters. Should it point towards the cam, or the outside of the block? Does it matter?

The only one I could answer is that I installed the hole on the lifter toward the cam (up). I read it somewhere on the Crower or Comp website when I had the same question.

Point those bad boys up.

The hole is probably pipe thread ...every other one is.
