So for my next mod I want to do a hot cam, and rockers. Best place to pick on up? Can you get the whole set (cam and rockers) or do you have to buy them seperate. I was thinking hot cam and 1.6 rockers. This is all goning on a '92 coupe w/118 mi. Anything else I should change while im in there? Any suggestions are welcome...

Check out this link. http://www.samtaylor.com/html/parts.html

Also you may want to consider a waterpump, optispark, and timing chain set. One other point is go to Nathans home page and read. He has a lot of info on this conversion.

As long as the lifters in decent shape they should be fine. I've seen too many problems especially with *cough**cough*comp R lifters to get me to want to change lifters on a small cam like a hotcam.

You will definately need tuning when you get this done. The 92's are speeddensity and the cam will drastically change the volumetric effeciency of the engine.
