If I'm reading the description right they are 1.8 rockers and not 1.7 like stock. That could possibly lead to problems.

im not positive of the numbers right now but i have them somewhere. i believe it is .571/??? at 112 lsa. aside from that what would be the problem with running a 1.8 rocker? i dont really know a whole lot about them...

youre going to have to much valve lift w/1.8 rockers unless you have valve reliefs cut into your pistons.

If your cam lift is .571 with stock ratio (1.7) rocker arms, with 1.8s you'll be at ~.605, which is most likely too much lift, not to mention some cam manufaturers recommend NOT using 1.8s due to the fast ramps. Definitely need to check P o V with those. Also, $699

What the others have said is correct. I'd try to get out of buying those if you can. If you want to invest $700 into Rockers Jessel makes a very good one.

good pieces, have them in 04 vette with 2 k miles, no problems yet. installing vhp boss2 cam, ls6 heads, ati damper with original crane 1.8 rockers, dual crane springs,dynatech w/cats and magnaflow. cam is small by today's standards, but .590 lift with these rockers. using .042 head gasket with pistons out .007, should be a ok combination with VHP tuner

so i oredered the jessel non-ajdustable shaft mounts rockers today and hoping to see them next friday...then maybe the car will be able to be driven...hope all works out well with these...by the way the cam i am running is a 228/224 .591/.583 112 lsa...should be fine with a 1.7 ratio rocker right?

git_sum, i tried the patriot shaft mount rockers that i had and one of the shafts broke in half while we were installing them so im gonna stay away from more patriot stuff. not to say that it is bad, i love the heads i have!

Price includes roller rocker arms, studs, guideplates, polylocks and pushrods. So you actually get a lot of parts for the money. Also, these rockers come off the seat at 1.89 and the 1.7 version come off the seat at 1.79. Measure the Jesels and see what they come off the seat at.
