Default Rocker arm reuse

Can I?

I took my stockers off of the motor 2 years ago for 1.7s....

The stockers have been sitting in the new rocker arm box for the past 2 years.

Comp cams sent me stud mount rockers, those bastards, and I need pedestal mount.

I have a new cam, lifters, pushrods, and valve springs... can I reuse my original rocker arms?

Prob not?

You ''can'' but just remember why people change them. The stamped steel rockers can bend with higher tension springs, causing slop and play in your valvetrain.

Is that something you really want?
