I have a set of cc rockers 1.7 are they worth using or is it better to stay with stock. I had them once on a 408, but didnt know if they are worth putting on a stock lq4. Heard some people can't turn up with them. Right now I'm getting a turbo installed and the guy installing wants to use them. On the 408 I used value cover spacers for clearance that leaked, but he insures me he can fix it with no leak. Any suggestions???

 

I know it is the same 1.7 as a stock rocker, but no one knows if they are better than stock or has any opinions all suggestions are appreciated

 

I have comp pro-magnum rockers and I had to mill the casting dimples off under each valve cover for them to fit properly. They fit fine with no leaks. Also had to remove the PCV hardware from the rear driver side cover.

 

if you already have them just go ahead and install them. If you try and sell them used you're not going to get close to what you "should" get for them ya know. I'd say they're better than stock, but not all aftermarkets are. I personally haven't run any GenIII rockers from comp, but my previous experience with their older style rockers was quite pleasant.

Value covers are milled and ready. Just my spacers leaked last time. I just heard people had problems. I never got last motor right enough to really try them out. Are u running the alum. spacers on yours?

 

No spacers...No leaks.
Had them off to adjust rockers after a couple thousand miles and reinstalled with same gaskets. I did sandblast the covers while they were off and now I'm wishing I had painted them too.
Still oil tight.

 

hey are they the comp pro magnums with studs and guide plates poly locks?

 

Yes...they are pro-magnum. 1.75 ratio for mine.

 

no i was askin horsepower hunter if they were i would trade him a set of 1.85s for them

those would be worth putting on
