1.6 rocker question

How many guys went to changed pushrods after they went to the 1.6 rockers? If, what did you go with?
I'm converting to a roller setup (I have all the roller stuff from a 5.7 vortec) and I'm going to use LT4 1.6 roller rockers
THanks,
MIke

Re: 1.6 rocker question

The rocker ratio isn't what determines push rod length.

However, if you have a flat tappet cam now and you're putting in roller lifters, your push rods will need to be about a half inch shorter from that.
