I have the hotcam and soon will have ported heads. I was considering going to a bigger cam, but now Im thinking maybe I'll just swap the 1.6 rr for some 1.7. So wheres the best price to pick them up? Also, how much is a set of 1.6 RR that came in the hotcam kit worth? They have about 15K miles on them.

Comp Cams "Hi-Tech" stainless rockers are available in 1.7:1. ~$30 more then the typical "Pro-Magnum" rockers.

I've been thinking about getting a set of scorpions

Thanks guys, does anyone know who actually makes the RR that come with the hotcam kit? How much are they worth used?

Crane, and if I remember right, they're the gold ones that cost $300 new. Base your price off of mileage on them and condition.

Don't forget that when moving to 1.7's with the hotcam kit, you NEED to upgrade the springs as the 1.7's will put the gross lift at .558, over the .550 lift the springs are good for.

 

Fred-
Can you shoot me a link to where you can find them for that? Ive been looking for a set, but always seen them in the 380+ range. Thank you.

Not only will you have a spring problem but, valve covers won't clear. So you have to get the high ones & then .......
you have a problem with your alt

 

Not true. You can clearance the inside of the valve covers. I can immediately think of two people running the 1.7 rockers on stock valve covers.

 

I fully agree with Rich, if you can afford it, run a good stainless rocker arm - I wouldn't ever run aluminum rockers if I didn't have to.

The 1.7 7/16" high-tech stainless rockers are about $100 more than pro-mag's - we typically sell them for $360.

Jared, when your heads show up & we order other valvetrain parts, I can get those for you @ a discount if you'd like .

 

Thanks Phil. I will let you know when the time comes. Have to check P/V clearance still, i know of one person running the 1.7 on the 847 cam, but thats on a built bottom end car.

 

What springs would you recommend? What if a person was running a stock LT1 cam... would the LT4 springs included in the hotcam kit be sufficient?

 

Yea Im running a hotcam and interested in the 1.7's as well. What springs would you recommend?
