Default Will the LT4 rollers rockers work on my LT1 studs?

I have a set of the LT4 roller rockers, will they fit and work on a set of LT1 heads? Arent the studs for the lt4s metric or a little off from the lt1s? Are they as good as the cranes or other 1.6s out there? and advice would be appreciated. thanks

I'm sure you can find heads specs somewhere that would tell the stud size but I would be 99% sure that the LT4 heads would have had 3/8" studs anyway. 7/16" is usually for the aftermarket stuff. As far as reliability in comparison to other manufacturers, I say you can't go wrong with OEM stuff. They sell the rockers in the LT4 conversion kits.

Thanks I found out that the factory ones are 10mm studs and the ones in my LT1 are 3/8". Im not sure if it is that big of a differance between the two.

Hmm did not know that. Studs are readily available and not really all that expensive so you can always change them. Good luck.
