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.

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.
