how to distinguish my rockers...Help! alright, so i have yet another dilemma in my cam install here. to make a long story short, i was told i had 1.8 rockers on my car along with 918 springs when i bought it... The springs are there, but it turns out i do not have 1.8's, but i guess they could potentially the slp 1.85's which look like stock rockers. The rockers that are on my car look stock. I'm hoping they are stock because the 1.85's will push my springs too far with the cam i have. Anyways, i've been informed the only difference is the location where the push rod sits in the rocker. This is probably a long shot, but does anyone have rocker arm measurements handy? Or at least if i post a picture, would anyone be able to tell what rockers i have?

Take a dial indicator and measure. You'll have to bolt up one and compare travel on the pushrod side to travel on the valve side. That tell you for sure...you could set it up with say .010" lash between the rocker tip and valve stem and then use the dial indicator on the pushrod side. You'll need an adjustable pushrod to do that though.

You can also measure the distance from the fulcrum to the pushrod cup, then from the fulcrum to the tip (slot). The distance to the tip (slot) should be 1.85x the distance to the pushrod cup if they're SLP's.
