lx9 full roller rockers

Sorry if it's been asked. I can't seem to find any info reguarding if 1.6 full roller rockers will have any clearance issues withthe valve covers? I already understand the side to side clearance. any help will be appreciated.

Re: lx9 full roller rockers

the LX9 rockers are roller fulcrum, not full roller (Fulcrum and tip).

They also won't work on iron heads and they have 8mm bolts so they are pretty specific to the 3500 engine or late 3400's.

People have done it on 3400 heads, it should work fine on 3500 heads too. This would be a good question to ask on 60degreev6.com though.
