My rockers say F16 on them - What brand are they?

2FastLX · 03-24-2001, 05:50 PM

I just got some used rockers in the mail and they are supposed to be 1.6 ratio. They are a blue anodized rocker with F16 stamped in the top of them just behind the roller tip. They also have adjusters above the push rods. They have an allen bolt that bolts them down and they came with a little collar that is cut to fit in the bottom curve and those lock into a black piece of metal that rests underneath everything.

Are these Omega rockers? Not that I really care, but I am curious. I've heard the Omega's have a problem fitting under even the Ford tall valve covers.

Well I am curious because I really want to make sure they are 1.6's. I can't use 1.7's with my setup. Plus I planned on buying a set of Ford polished valve covers and don't want to waste my money if these won't clear.

Also, how tight do you torque them down and how do you set the adjuster so they have the correct pressure on the stem? This is my very first set of adjustables and I have no idea how to set them up.

Thanks.

they are Omega rockers, I have 2 sets of them one set of adjustable and one set of pedestal mount. the F16 means 1.6 as both mine are 1.6 RR's and are stamped the same. hope this helps some.

Just to let you know, i have 1.6 omegas under my stock valve covers, all that had to be done was to remove the oil baffle in the P/S cover.

Thanks. That's what I wanted to know.
