1.6 roller rockers

I want to get some 1.6 Comp Cams Pro Magnum Roller Rockers for my 1990 Trans Am and have already done a search but it didnt yield any really helpful results. My question is what all is needed to install these rockers? Do I need to change studs or anything else? Maybe valve covers? And is there a link to a helpful install guide?
thanks for your replies!

you will need to get the 3/8" self-aligning style rockers. that's pretty much all you need to know. with the stock cam, nothing should need to be modified. i'm running a set of 1.5 pro-magnums and i love them.

thanks a lot. Also, did you notice much of a difference with them? Does anyone know the part number for the self-aligning 3/8in Pro Magnum Roller Rocker Arms?

i built the entire motor together so i couldn't tell you if there was a difference. i'll tell you though that a 1.6x 60' time is a FUN ride...12.16@110mph with the new motor so far!

Youll have to modify the stock valve covers to get them to fit over those rockers. Not too hard -- I did it, just search on here for "pro comp stock covers". if you dont the little webs inside the covers will hit the rockers cause they are wider than the stamped ones.
