Almost there Mangs!!!*DUW*

[Archangel]

well what size are them bolts that hold the stockers down, 3/8 or 7/16"? You can get RRs for both, hope you got the right ones

i dunno if tou can use stud mount rockers on pedestal mount heads or not.....turbo would know......might just be a matter of getting some studs and polylocks.

[Mr. Land Yacht]

Im pretty sure those heads are setup for Stud mount...I think thats what Gerry told me when I asked him before...I made sure to ask before I bought those RRs.
I dunno what size bolts they are.

It is a simple machine job to lower the pedestals a bit. Then you drill and tap for 3/8 or 7/16 studs and bolt your rockers down. There are a couple of kits with 5/16 adapter studs but they are made for very low lift cams only.

I thought them pedestals are drilled and tapped already - ain't it a bolt that holds down the stock rocker? Or you mean they need to be drilled and tapped further down the pedestal cause if not done studs won't have enough thread to hold to?

That's it... I'm no checking this thread until Saturday afternoon!

Everything I do takes longer than expected.

They have kits for both 3/8 an 7/16 adjustable rocker conversions. In Coiln's case he dosent realy need them.

When pedistal mountsd rockers are converted to studed adjustable rockers guode plates must be used to keep the push rodss from falling out. The thickness of the guide plates must be machined off the pedistal more or less.

so, dave...what do I need to get to make those fit properly?
the link that Scott posted?

Depends on if the rockers are 3/8 or 7/16. Using them will cost you a lot of low end torq. You also might just break a lot of adapter studs since they increase spring pressure. You dont realy need more lift or duration.

[Mr. Land Yacht]

should I sell them off and stick with the stock rockers and/or get Roller Rockers in 1.6 ratio like stock?

[turbo2256b]

Oh boy. You need to find out if Gerry machined them for screw in studs. If he did your rocker geometry woud be way off with pedistal mount rockers. my guess is he diddnt because the threaded holes in the head would be 7/16 and the bolt on rockers wouldnt fit because there 5/16 thread. Best to sell them off see how the car runs. Get it broken in ,tuned up worry about rockers later. I dont realy recomend those conversion kits. Later some bolt on roller rockers would be the ticket. Would probably stick with 1.6s.
