I want to put in some 1.7 rockers. What all do I need? Please include part numbers and sources if you can.

Which rockers are best for 1.7?
Which guide plates if necessary?
Which push rods?
Which Valve springs?
Did I miss anything? Studs? ???

Too many questions I know but I'm a computer guy and not to knowledgable about these things.

 

Why not just get 1.6's. I think they are much better deal. I see plenty of reasons not to run 1.7's.

 

Others have run them with good results so I'd like to do the same.

 

Thats true but there are down sides too. Some people on this board run big cams with inadequate valve springs, and some run big cams and heads on stock chains and other idiotic things that doesn't make it right.

 

Relax, my good man. I have my reasons for running the 1.7's. If it'll make you feel better you can send me a private message and tell me all about the down sides. But here I just need answers to the questions. Thanks

I've searched the archives and found:

1. Scorpion 1.7's cheap and good
2. 95 LT1's already have hardened pushrods. Please confirm.
3. Guide plates needed for Scorpions. GMPP where to get?
etc.

 

I'm relaxed.
I got my GM guide plates through thunderracing.
95's did get hardened pushrods too and i reused mine.
The scorpion RR's i can't confirm. I'm running 1.6 Comp Pro Mags.

 

Might want to check into the hardened pushrods...Believe it was 94....
