Alrighty, I am installing a set of Trick Flow valve spring upgrade valve springs on my GT40 iron heads. I will also be installing a set of Ford Racing 1.6 Roller Rockers. I noticed that the stock springs have what is called a valve rotator on the top of the spring and the new springs do not. Im guessing that the rotators are because the old rockers didnt have a roller tip but i am not sure. I have noticed that my dads AFR's dont have valve rotators and most other aftermarket heads do not. Are they necessary?

Thanks,
Nick
