The end of valve lash

What size nut is needed to double nut the roller rockers on the studs, so that the nuts will not back off anymore? I'm having a problem with the nuts that I got from jbodyperformance.com that came with the roller rockers that I ordered.

Poly locks. But the nut is likely 3/8 if you're using 1.6 rollers. The stock stud is 10mm but to use 1.6 rollers requires an stud that's 10mm at the base and 3/8" for the rocker. I did a valve lash on my stock rockers and double nutted it for the same reason. They kept backing off.

I got some from a local engine shop. A friend of mine knows the owner and he hooked us up. Honestly, I have no idea if Jegs or Summit has them in the catalog, but if you go to a place that builds race engines they should be able to help. The guy I got them from charged me $.25 each, so four bucks. When it warms up a bit I'm going to install them and see how they work.
