Roller Rockers, bad?

HiFlow5 0 · 04-14-2002, 12:47 PM

I'm not too sure if this is suppose to happen, but are roller rockers suppose to move side to side? I started inspection stuff really close today and happen to wiggle the rockers. They make a clicking sound when moved side to side, but are tight and don't have any play up and down, is this normal? I also noticed on the #5 cylinder that the rocker on the exhaust side was hitting the valve cover cause of its movement side to side.

If the rockers are bad and I get knew ones, would 1.72 rockers work on my car with the stock heads and E cam?

Thanks all, Craig

There shouldnt be any side to side movement with the rockers torqued to spec and the lash set.I would stay with 1.6s with your set up but 1.7s wouldnt be a problem either.
