Do the '96 LT1 require self aligning rocker arms? Do they have guide plates (or cast in pushrod guides) installed from the factory?
Reason is, I have a set of NSA rockers that I am looking to install on a 96 LT1.
Thanks in advance,
Aaron

So if i'm going to a 1.6 roller rocker on my L98 I should also change my valve springs? If I don't will it weaken the springs down the road? What springs should I use for the swap from stock rockers to the 1.6 rr's Pipe

Yes you should change your valve springs
(no one seems to have noticed that has been said allready!!)
The stock springs are about all that is stopping you from revving past 5,850 rpm. Change the springs and youre good for 1.6:1 RRs and also more revs. You can reuse the stock springs if ya like, after all, you own the car.

Different problem but same topic
I am putting '85 heads with '85 intake, etc. on a '90 block to put in an '85 coupe. Do I use self aligning rockers or not? On vendor sites they say '86 small block and up to use self aligning types but I don't know if that applies with '85 heads.
