Roller Rockers

75dartsport said

Have been looking at some different Roller Rockers. What is the best setup for the money. Have seen many of them on E-Bay but don't know how any of these are holding up. I have also seen the stainless ones are they better than the aluminum. With my 509 purple shaft would I notice much difference if I went to the 1.6. Hope everyone doesn't get tired of my questions, Hard to find an all a-body mopar website. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Rick

Welcome!

I just got done putting roller rockers on my lil 273. I bought them on ebay and paid $136.52 to the door from gr8hotrods. It is just the roller rockers not the shafts. You use your old shafts with these. They are the aluminum type and more than likely made in China. They didn't send enough shims so BJR racing made me some spacers. But I'm not going to be turning 7000 RPM and drag race every where I go. You can sink a lot money in roller rockers and shafts very quickly. (Its all about the money you know) Harland, Comp Cams, Crane, etc.. have some nice stuff for a nice price however.

I'm sure you will see a difference in the 1.6 but I would make sure you still have enough valve to piston clearance and also retainer to valve guide clearance. 1.6 can throw your valve train geometry off a bit so check it. You might already know this but just wanted to give a heads up.
