Author Topic: installing 1.6 pedestal roller rockers?? SydeWayzSix ¯ Member # 2222 posted                              i will be installing a set of rockers on a set of GT40 heads but would like to know if there is any specific way to install them. I know that they must be torqued to spec, but will I have to do anything particular besides bolt them down? Also, if I do not get the 1.6's, will stock (non GT40) rockers from my stock heads fit alright on the GT40 heads? -------------------- 1989 Notchback "SF Giants" edition...

Right now, the car has a very mild cam in it (unknown specs) and I am running the stock heads with stock rockers. can I safely say that they will work on the GT40 heads since they are currently working fine with the stock heads? -------------------- 1989 Notchback "SF Giants" edition...
