Upgraded rocker arm bolts?
Upgraded rocker arm bolts? I am putting a 5.3 (L33) in an offroad buggy.
The 5.3 will get a tbss intake and tb, ls2 injectors and a cam.
For now stock (799) heads.
Rod bolts will be upgraded.
I have searched to see if anyone has upgarded rocker arm bolts
when doing a cam, didnt find much.
Should they be??
Thanks,
Karl.

they can be. they do sell larger 3/8ths I believe rocker studs, not too many people have done it, as its not absolutely neccesary unless youve got some serious valvetrain to hold together. Even still though, it certainly wouldnt hurt anything if you did upgrade them.
If you ask me it's a waste of money since the rocker bolt won't fail, it would be the rocker itself failing first. Use blue loctite (per gm service manual) to prevent backing out of bolt.
