Rocker arms a necessity?
 
With my mods listed below, alng w/ fact i' planning on blowing next year http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif, does it make any sense on upgrading to 1.6 rr's??? Should I not bother and save the $$$ for other more important mods? Thanks for the input!

Why wouldn't you want to upgrade? A quality set of RR's will be much stronger than the stamped pieces and being rollers they'll reduce friction. I can't think of any other mods that I'd do first for the money.

A good aftermarket rocker arm will be more stable at high rpm. (flexing) Also the stock stamped steel factory 1.6's are not a precision piece. There are inconsistencies in their manufacturing.

My thinking exactly, but I always like to check w/ you guys first.......I second guess myself to make sure I'm doing the right thing. Thanks.
