Default 1.6 rockers to be installed

Anyone know how hard this is to do? I have the roller rockers already. They have been sitting around. Also, you have had rockers installed what did you pay for labor? I want this to be done in a weekends time. Car is in my garage if you need to know more or want to view it

done.
you should check to make sure the change has not left the roller contact on the valve out of center. is the cam stock? are the valve springs stock? it will work without changing pushrods or valve springs just not good if everything is not lined up right or if old springs bind or break.

Car has a cam and valve springs are not stock. Its been balanced and blue printed for 1.6s. Just needs the rockers to be dropped in

Default Valve Lash Adjustment

Hey guys, if you are about to adjust the valve lashes, you should do a google search for a magnetic vinyl strip with graphics on it that wraps around your harmonic balancer (temporarily) that shows you exactly where the camshaft lobe heels are at to adjust the valve lashes accurately.

I have one for my Camaro and one for my Corvette and they work great. Just thought I would let you know that something new out there exists for valve lash adjustments. Have fun!
