Change Rocker Arms? My engine should be here is a week. All the drivetrain is new. Should I change my rockers to brand new stockers? Or are the ones I have ok??

Stock rockers seem to pretty good pieces because they are so light. Unless you are planning on going big with the rockers like Jesel, T&D, Crane, they are not worth upgrading. Most of the cheaper rockers like YT, Harland Sharp, Comp, seem to cause valve float issues. I havent heard anything about the Patriot rockers. They look decent but require taller valve covers. Might be something to look into.

I plan on using stock rockers. But since mine have been in for 6 years. I just wonder if I should switch them out for some brand new ones.

Just send yours to Nasty Performance (Nasty Nate).
They have a Harland upgrade kit that include new trunions and C-clips, for about $$260
No more spilled bearings and better than new.

Since I busted seven of my Rockers, I decided to just stay and replace them all with 16 brand new stockers. Cost issue isn't as cheap as you might think. I payed 320.00 for all 16 and that was with my discount. If you can get them cheaper from a dealer, let me know and I'll take mine back for a bigger discount. 
. I need to take advantage of that kind of discount.
