my soo cool mom just asked me what i want for x mas! she finally realized i'd rather get one gift that i like than a bunch of crap that is useless. i'm so happy too. anyhow i told her that i want some roller rockers for my car. she said cool and how much. i told her about $300. so what i need from you guys is some help, and i know this has been beaten to death. i have the stock lt1 in my 95 6 speed vette. i want the 1.6 ratio rockers, i think theire the ones off the the lt4. i have 2 questions. does my engine need self aliging or the other ones in the stock condition my motor is in? i want them to bolt on. i know im gonna have to work on the valve covers. no prob there. the other question is about the valve springs. should i replace them or put new ones in? i autocross the car about once a month and other than that its a daily driver that gets wound out about once a day. so help me on my roller rocker selection and spring issues please:

self aligning or non self aligning?

new valve springs or stock ones are fine? (if new, what kind? LT4?)

thanks guys. i hope to have this thing screaming in the near future! :steering: :thumbs: :party:

 

The LT1 uses self aligning rockers, and to be 100% safe you need to change valve springs. LT4 springs will do just fine, and they are cheap.

 

:iagree:

 

Crane gold self aligning rockers about 285 fron Thunder racing LT $ valve springs 38.00 from Pace Performance. I just did this mod to my LT 1 last month :cool: :cool:

 

Try this.

a hug

a kiss

a cake

a card

thank's MOM!

You do that and mean it, you could get a creat eng. (400hp) next year!

 

yea i already did all that minus the cake. i got her a chocolate pie. anyhow, got one more question. do i need new retainers and clips, not sure what all it's called. i mean with the new springs. and the plan is this.

1.6 roller rockers
LT4 valve springs
and i guess retainers and clips if that is what i need, just let me know fellas. thanks! :grouphug:
