Default roller rockers!!

is it worth the money to get roller rockers?? i know somebody that can get me some 1.7 roller rockers for $100 brand new and im highly considering buying them... is it okay to run them on motor with stock cam because i obviously they're bigger? and is there anything else i need to do while im in there? thanks

yeah you may have to clearance the baffles or use taller valve covers to accomadate the roller rockers....as far as a performance gain...by themselves you may not even notice them

Go ahead and get the rockers, but you may want to wait to use them until you swap heads. It'll be considerably easier if you do both at the same time.

Get them if they are that cheap (price). Can't go wrong.

since they are 1.7's they will give you a bump in your cams "size" as seen by your motor. so yeah, for 100 bucks they are def. worth it.
