You probably won't need new push rods.

You may need new valve springs, depending on the details of what you have.

You may need machine work, either to lengthen the pushrod slot in the head, or to accomodate larger valve springs.

In general, if you have a stock cam, your chances of needing any of this are less. That is, the rockers ar emore likely to be a pure bolt-on. However, the more other mods you have, to your valve train, the more you need to work out the details.

I've got the Crane Gold 1.6's on my car. Stock pushrods, stock springs, stock cam, and stock valve covers and they required no modification of anything...true bolt-on.

Crane sells a package with the rockers and the pushrods (at least for their Magnum roller rockers). The package is $20 over the normal price of rockers... might be a good idea just for the heck of it...?
