Default 1.6 rocker arms question

i know this has probebly been asked before, but i have looked everywhere online and can't find em anywhere. i want to get just plain 1.6 rocker arms, not rr's (unless they are about the same price). so does anyone know where i can get a set and the price on em.

If I were You I would just buy a set of bow tie RR's. Why would You even consider of putting regular stamped steel pieces in? Doesn't make much sense to me.

While it is possible to buy 1.6:1 roller tip rockers, It is the age old case of you getting what you pay for. I've not personally seen a set of 1.6:1 stock style non-roller rockers. I wouldn't be surprised if Summit or JCWhitney carried them though. With the extra side-loading on the guides, spring pressures, and stresses on the studs and retaining nuts, I wouldn't do it. You'd be better served waiting for a good deal on a used set of roller rockers by searching camaroz28.com and LS1tech.com classifieds.

I have never seen 1.6 stamped rockers. This link is probably the cheapest you will find. LT4 ones are a nice buy though, they are made by Crain actually.
