Valve Covers

Was looking into getting a set of summit valve covers. I was wonders if the i would need to buy wing bolts for the new valve covers or would the stock bolts work fine? http://store.summitracing.com/partde...700+%2D78995+0

While i have the valve covers off, i might as well save up to replace the rocker arms and pushrods right? Im kinda on a tight budget so im not looking for the best. Do you have any idea good rocker arms that wont have clearance or tapping problems? I saw on a search that someone put 1.6 magnum roller TIP rockers on a 3.4 liter v6. From what i read everything that fits a 3.4 should fit a 3.1 is this true in this case? I know everyone gets tired of hearing this but will there be any noticable power increases? Is there any concerns for the new rocker arms to push the valve donw farther and hit the piston?

i would beleive the valve covers would fit, as well as the roller rockers. you might not notice much with just the rockers, but later on down the road, when you have the money to change cam, you should notice much more.
