roller motor?
 

Hi all,

Replaced the valve cover gaskets in my buddy's 98 LX. I thought that his car would have roller rockers but it doesn't. Does my 93 GT? He says there is no difference between mine and his. This true?

I doubt there is any difference. The only roller rocker cars from the factory were the Cobra's.

While your car may be "roller cam," that's a totally different animal than roller rockers. Roller cams means the lifter has a roller tip that rides along the cam lobe. Roller rockers have a roller to reduce friction on the rocker. The rockers at the top end of the engine are almost always stamped 1.6:1 ratio, and pedestal mount. Very few production Mustangs had stud mounted rockers, and as far as I know, the Cobra was the only one that came with a 1.7:1 ratio, or a roller rocker from the factory. There may be some others way in the past, but not that I'm aware of right now.

There's only one way to find out...

Unless someone had modified your car, you've got the same stamped steel 1.6 rockers as your pal.

bummer, I hate it when I'm wrong. Amazingly, this hasn't been the first time either.
