never buy used springs....I would avoid the cheap rockers too, just save your money and wait

i know im going with the whole lt4 spring ordeal (all parts will be new).. Im just going to try and find a good deal on some rockers. Maybe the LT4s.. how much different could they be from other rockers?.. this question i havent seen answered so i dont know..

nodnarb481

Nothing wrong with the LT4 rockers, they are supposed to be made by Crane. As for the springs, I agree with the others, don't buy them used. You just never know the complete history behind them. The LT4 spring kit is probably going to be your cheapest alternative.

Yea thats what im doing for The Springs.. getting them from the site bow sent me. Ill buy the rockers used if their in good condition.. just trying to find a good deal.

How about he LT4 rockers with with 18k on them for $125.. too many miles?

mdacton

miles don't really matter....you need to check each one and make sure they role smoothly no pitting gouges etc. anyone using those probly has a mild combo so they are probly fine

2000GTP

Thats a good price. As long as they don't have any visible cracks or damage I would go for it.

nodnarb481

cool ill go with them then.. thanks for all the help guys. how much power you think ill gain with my supporting mods?

2000GTP

The rockers should be good for around a 10hp gain at the wheels, not bad at all.

nodnarb481

nice.. how do these look guys?

Also Found a sick deal on these..

dual coil Comp 978 valve springs
comp 740 steel retainers
comp 611 10 degree valve locks
and I need to buy the Valve Spring Locators..

will they work fine with the Lt4 SA 1.6s Roller Rockers I have above
?

Those springs will work, theyre actually overkill. How much is the person asking for them?

I'm sure the LT4 springs are cheaper. Theyre only $40 or so. Its definately under $50 to get the springs, locks and retainers.

nodnarb481

they are asking $160 shipped.. ill probly just go LT4 tho and have some money to fill my tank too..

I found Pace to be the cheapest place to get all the parts needed for this upgrade. You could get a part from here or there and save a buck but with all the additional shipping charges you end up paying more. Plus Pace has a great reputation, and you deal with only one vendor which will save you headaches should two or three drop the ball.

So here is a completelist with part numbers from Pace including cost or each, and total:

PACE PERFORMANCE (1.6 RR Upgrade)
10212809 - Valve Spring Shim LT4: $0.75 x 16 = $12.00
10212810 - Valve Stem Seal LT4- 1 Per Package: $2.95 x 16 = $47.20
12495492 - Valve Spring Cap Kit, LT4: $19.95
12495494 - Small Block Chevy LT4 Valve Spring Kit 1.32" Diameter: $35.95
12495503 - Small Block Chevy Valve Spring Key (Keeper) Kit- Set of 32: $10.95
66915C - Proform Aluminum Roller-Rocker Arms Chevy S/B, 1.6 Ratio, 3/8" Stud Self Aligning- Set Of 16: $189.95

PACE Total: $316.00
