Re: roller rockers
but in terms of full roller, or roller tip. arguments go both ways, all you really need is the roller tip to maintain the correct geometry and to avoid rocker and valve wear.
but on the second hand, full roller will reduce friction, by how much? i dont know, SOME! i guess thats the answer i can give you. but if you wanna save some cash id say the roller tips is the way to go. but if you plan on going to a bigger motor later on perhaps its smarter to splurge alittle on some nice rockers?

Re: roller rockers
thanks for the advice. hey gurkgurkgurk did putting those 3.42's make a big difference? I have a set, but was really thinking of going a little bigger in my car. What mods do you have?
