Technical 331 Cadillac rocker shafts

Ok guys,Just a simple question.I have never worked on a 331 Cadillac before and have to install new rocker shafts.
I would assume that the rocker shaft stands are a press fit on to the shafts?
I have read all about rocker shaft orientation but nothing about the stands,
Any tips? thanks

 

Thanks for the info.
Funny thing is that I pulled the rocker assemblies off my spare engine and they are as you described but the ones on the original engine are smaller in the ID by a few thousands and the bolts are tight in the stands.Weird

 

When adding a race cam* to early V8 OHV Cady,one trick was to use a set of Studebaker OHV V8 rockers< they can fit Early Cady and are adjustable rocks vs Cady have no adjustments,so don't work with race cams that are not Hydraulic.

 

I didn't watch the video, but yes, the shafts are a slip fit through the stands, and obviously the rockers.
A generous coating of assembly oil on ALL of the parts, is very beneficial during the assembly and it also aids in the initial start-up.

When you tighten the stand fasteners, to NOT do the initial rundown all at one time. Do a couple of turns on all of them, then a couple of turns more, until all are tight.
Tightening "one" at a time is likely to damage the shaft and or the stand.
