Default Comp Cams Rockerarms

I have seen posts that state that the Comp Cams SS 1.85 roller rockerarms will hit the valvecovers on a 2000. Do the 1.75 versions also have the same problem as well ?

Thanks >>>>> INTHERED

I don't know if you've actually handled them or not, but the Comp versions are big and heavy. You might want to take a look at the Crane Golds. They are noticeably lighter and will fit under your valve covers without a problem. I'm using a set of the Crane Gold Quick-Lift 1.80 roller rockers in my motor.

Are they adjustable like the Comp Cams ?

Vette Doctors told me that they installed the comp cams 1.80's on my car with no clearance issues. Maybe you can give them a call.

Just because "they feel lighter in your hand"...This is not the whole story. The compcam rockers may feel alot heavier but is the rotational mass that counts. The compcam rockers have up to 5% less rotational mass than comparable aluminum rocker arms. And rotational mass is what counts, not how heavy there overall weight is...

I have 1.65 compcams on my C4 and am putting 1.75s on my C5...
