Like it says, I just bought some GMPP 1.6 Roller Rockers and was wondering what springs I sould buy, where to buy them and price. Remember, I'm a college student, so I'm poor
Thanks,

cheapest bet would be some LT4 springs then.. I'm guessing you still have the stock camshaft?

 

Agreed.

 

yeah, stock camshaft, where can I get LT4 springs, and how much?

 

gmpartsdirect sells them. 40$ new in the box.

 

what other parts do I need to get? Do I need retainers, caps, or is all that included in the spring set?

 

Your stock retainers, spring base shims will work with the LT4 springs (they are the same). Although, you should replace the valve stem seals, as they get hard with age and can leak oil. GM parts has some premium seals for the LT.

You'll need the KD valve spring compressor and a magnet to catch the locks. Also, make sure each piston is TDC on that cylinder when changing the spring and seals to make sure you don't drop a valve.

Im running the pro form 1.6 rr's. I still have all stock valve train. I was informed that unless you get coil bind (when installing the rockers you can check for this), no need to change anything. Additionally, unless you are leaking oil, dont mess with the valve seals.
I have 90k on my motor, no problems yet. Just my .02.
By the way, I bought the LT4 valve springs and never installed them. If you do want to put them on, its a pain but good insurance I presume nonetheless.

 

so do I need any other parts other than caps and valve stem seals?
