      Re: installing my rockers

      These 1.9's sound interesting !!! Do they go on both intake and exhaust or just the intake to get more air in?? Do they require stronger valve springs.....seems like everyone here is putting different springs on.

          both.

          i did a bit of googling last night when i first saw this thread, and someone said that he needed longer pushrods in order to use those rockers.. i dont know if there is any truth to that or not, but just something to look into..

            that i have not seen, i have seen stuff about valve springs and that if you have over 100k then you should change em...nothing so far about push rods...

                  for an update i have gotten the passenger side springs swapped out (biggest PITA i have ever dealt with) The driver side doesn't look too bad, seems to be more room for the valve spring compressor. So i should be getting around to finishing up next weekend.

                      there is almost no room under the cowl, its very time consuming. your are probably right

                        just stock re-maned heads. i took mine to get checked cause i had low compression on two cyls. and they were cracked...i got a guy that will pocket port them, so they wont be stock.
