Valve train components
OK, looks like I'm going to upgrade my stock L98 to 1.6 rockers while I have the heads off. Since I'll have the heads looked at I'm going to also follow recommendation to upgrade springs.
I'm thinking for a stock 1989 L98 that using the GM performance LT4 spring from 1996 would be a good choice. It is rated up to .525 lift, with a O.D. 1.32
This sounds right?

I, too, am researching for new 1.6 roller rockers for my L98.
Are new pushrods needed, also, or are the stock ones OK?
Is is true that the "drip tabs" inside the valve covers need to be cut off?

OK, well looks like the LT4 springs are fine for this application with a stock cam. If all else is stock and the roller rockers are self aligning, why would new push rods be needed?
