Rocker Arm Question

Im buying new 1.6 ratio roller rocker arms and I am not sure weather my motor uses 3/8" stud or 7/16" stud. Without removing the valve covers and rocker arms is there any easy way to know if a stock 87 l98 uses a 3/8" stud or a 7/16" stud, I am not sure if all l98s are the same or they are different and if they are all the same I am not sure if all l98s are 3/8" or 7/16"

Re: Rocker Arm Question

3/8"


7/16" is the heavy duty aftermarket stud, or Big block size. All stock SBC's used 3/8"
