Re: so i installed me 1.9 full roller promag rocker arms today.
A cumbustion engine uses a piston to compress an air/fuel mix, and then a spark plug ignites this mix under pressure. We have V6 engines so there are 3 of these cylinders per side of the engine. Each cylinder has a pair of springs, valves, rockers. When installing springs, compressing the cylinder with air via the spark plug hole keeps the unsprung valve from falling into the cylinder during the job. You need to compress the cylinder with air through its spark plug hole per respective pair of springs, valves, rockers.
The answer to your question is no, you need to compress each cylinder at a time, unless you have 6 air fittings/compressors.

i put down 200rwhp, but i dont have any previous numbers to compare them too
and thats with out a tune, with a tune hopefully i can pick up another 15ish hp
Re: so i installed me 1.9 full roller promag rocker arms today.
do you have a scanned copy of your dyno graph, I'd like to see the HP and torque curve?
if not I understand but I figured it was worth a shot.
oah I also wanted to ask about adjusting valve lash? are these rockers self adjusting? I was thinking they might be since adjusting lash isn't mentioned in the video.
Re: so i installed me 1.9 full roller promag rocker arms today.
no i dont have a graph, the homo at the place said he was going to email it to me and never did. I have been trying to talk to him.
And yeah the rockers just bolt right on. Dpending on what bolts you use. I had the ARP reusable bolts, just tighten to 26ft lbs
