1.6 Roller Rockers
Im curious how many LT1 guys put 1.6 self aligning roller rockers on there car without changing valves and springs. i keep hearing about possible valve float or coil bind, i might be getting a deal on some but want to make sure that im not asking for trouble by installing these on my car. thanks for the help.

Someone should make a sticky about roller rockers. As long as you're running the stock cam there's nothing wrong w/ throwing 1.6 rockers on the car. It would be a wise idea to upgrade valve springs while you're at it. Combination Motorsports sells a decent valve spring for Aluminum heads.
