I've ran both Comp Cams Pro Magnums, and Crane Golds. Both a good rocker, but seemed like the Cranes were a bit quieter.
You will see about a 10 hp increase from 1.6 rockers, and they will allow the engine rev smoother above 5000 rpms.

Yes, but you'll have to mill the stock cast covers for a 92. The drip tabs and one half of the webbing for the cover bolt spacers has to go. I still have a bunch of magnesium shavings saved to toss in the next bonfire from when I did mine.

Scorpion manufactures an outstanding rocker arm. Comp, Crane, and Harlan Sharp also make very good rockers in the same $220 price range.
Stay away from the cheap roller tip rockers and the Pro Form alum rockers. Some people have had good luck with the Pro Forms (including me once) but alot of folks have had repeated failures. If you are looking to save money on your rockers I recommend CAT (Cal Auto Transpeed), huge selection, cheap prices and good quality.
You will have to cut the drip tabs out of your rocker covers for clearance. You can just grab them with a pair of vise grips and break them off (there is some small danger of cracking the cover this way) or you can use a cut off wheel on a die grinder to cut them off (much safer).

I have been running them for about 2 years now.

Since I have spent the last few years playing with BB boat motors I need to get up to date on the small block stuff. Do the rocker studs need to be replaced? What is the correct way to adjust the new rockers? Will the stock push rods work?
