IM GOING TO INSTALL 1.6 ROCKERS, BUT THE GUY THAT IS DOING IT FOR ME SAYS I MIGHT AS WELL THROW NEW LIFTERS IN, CUZ HE'LL TAKE EM OUT ANYWAYS, (HE'S DOING THIS ALL FOR 100 BUCKS, I DIDNT THINK THAT WAS TOO BAD) YOU GUYS GOT ANY PART NUMBERS OR SUGESTIONS FOR MY LIFTERS?? THANKS

 

NO!! DO NOT CHANGE YOUR LIFTERS AND NOT CHANGE THE CAM!

Your lifters have a wear pattern after wearing on the cam for the last 100k(or so) miles. If you put new, fresh lifters on a worn cam, you will eat the cam, and end up replacing the cam, and lifters (again!)

 

HEY THAT MAKES SENSE, ALMOST MAKES ME WHAT TO KICK MYSELF IN THE BUTT FOR NOT THINKING OF IT, HOW MUCH OF A POWER INCREASE FROM JUST THE ROCKERS DO YOU THINK?

 

Not much. A tad more lift, and a tad more duration, with a good decrease in rotational friction.... a couple horses freed, I'm sure. The engine will be much more rev happy, too!

Another thing... kill the caps man. That's = shouting on the 'net.

 

if you wanted to replace the rockers or cam, you should just replace the whole valvetrain. (springs, rockers, lifters, pushrods, camshaft)

If you dont replace all of the parts at the same time with new ones, they wear alot faster, and you would end up just having to replace them again pretty soon.

You could probably reuse your old valvesprings if you wanted, but it would probably start floating valves at like 4000rpm. (depending on which cam you get.)

 

well i didnt think that just throwing on rockers, (1.6, full roller tip) would screw anything up like that, i mean, they dont lay on anything or cause wear like the lifters to the cam shaft....cept the push rods i guess..... i would like to put the rockers in, (fairly simple) to take some of the miles off my moter, lighting things up a bit would only help. but thats just what i was thinking about,

 

Dude my buddy went to 1.6 roller on stock springs and lost power.. Get new 110# springs other wise wait...

 

lost power?!??!! well that kinda sucks, and what is 110# rockers and where do i find them?

 

get these, 64$ and are good for up to .510 lift @ 6500 rpm.

well every one else im talking too (my other "car" friends) tell me 1.6 are the ones to get

 

im just looking for somthing that is going to help, not hurt my motor, just some rockers and a pully and im done with it till i get another car prolly, so im just looking for some advise on this , im getting mixed messages, thanks for your input

 

Get the 1.6s, full roller rockers. Use those Crane valve springs, and you're good to go.
