Roller Rocker Install

Hel all

I am debating installing a set of Roller Rockers onto my 89 Bird.

What do I have to do?

I can install regular rockers with no problem, but have -0- experience with rollers.

Peace
Joshua

same thing if you can do one you can do the other. if the have a set screw on top of the rocker nut after you get the valve lash you want tighten the set screw then tighten the nut a 1/4 turn or so more.

Beware of fat aluminum roller rockers and factory baffled valve covers.

They don't like each other much. Usually, something's gotta give.
