Default Harland Sharp Rockers Question

I have done some research, and couldn't find anything specific, so I figured I would ask. I am looking at the F14 and MS3 cams. What I am wondering is if I will have any problem using the Harland Sharp Rockers with either of these cams. Will I need the adjustable or non adjustable rockers?

No problems whatsoever. No need for the adjustable ones with the stock type lifters. Most will tell you to pass on the HS rockers altogether and stick with the stockers or the beefed up Nasty stockers.

So far I've had no prob. with mine. Did a little research before I decided to install them and found them to be a pretty good alternative to the more expensive rocker set ups...They seem to be a pretty nice piece for the $$$...Stick with the non-adj.

thanks for the help guys. I plan to have the cam in sometime in January, if all goes well. By the way DJ, I remember reading about your car in gmhightech, you have a very nice ride. Hopefully one day, my car will be worthy of an article.

Search, there is tons of info here about these rockers. The main issue I hear is they are nose heavy compared to stockers, which could cause valve float with weak springs. Also, there will be some grinding of the valve covers to make them clear on '98 models.

I did do a search, but there wasn't really anything pertaining to the cams I was looking into.

That "search" I threw out there was directed to Styles question, not yours. Lot's of general info out there on these rockers, but you're right, maybe not directly related to the exact cams you are referring to.
