Re: rocker arms part 2

ZZP aluminum rockers look like they come with new pushrods and new pedastals so when you unbolt the rockers the old pedastal will come with it, pull your old pushrods, intall new ones then bolt in new rockers making sure your pushrods are in they're seat in the rockers. The rockers should also have direction for you to follow.

Ok so this is all straight forward...simple bolt off bolt on...do I have to worry about having to compress any springs, or anything like that?

what are the tools I need...a torque wrench and what else? Im gunna start gathering everything now so that I can install em

thanks again

by the way I know the rockers wont make the car sound like it has a cam...but will it make the WOT louder at all? I mean it must change the sound somewhere?

You will need a spring compressor for the valve springs which you have to change for 1.9 rockers to not get float at those rpms.
