Thread: Comp Cams 1.9 Roller Rockers

Should I just do a double roller timing chain while I'm at it? How much work is it to do the 130 springs and the timing chain install?

Spring install is a spring install. Usually takes me about 4 hours. Timing chain isn't horrible. You have to draiin the coolant and pull the timing cover. Which ...it's about 2 little torx head bolts from doing a cam swap.

So I guess the question I'm asking is should I do a double roller timing chain now and pay somebody to help me with the install of the rockers and chain? Am I still gonna put down good power even though I didn't go with a cam? Also I am looking for somebody to help me with the install if anybody would be willing to help :-)

cam will always be better than rockers but its what you want to do.

My goal is a turbo setup, I hope I didn't goof when I got these roller rockers :-(

no you didnt goof. but you dont need 130s unless youre doing a cam. so dont fret on that

turbo and rockers=105s
turbo and cam= 105s or 130s depending on what stage and your shift points.

So I won't snap a timing chain with the rockers and a turbo?

How many miles on the motor, IIRC it was silly low miles.

As of right this second it has 118,263 miles on it. I just don't wanna get all this work done and get a turbo on there just to find out that I need to replace a timing chain when I could of done it when I do the rockers. If you understand what I mean :-)

Seriously, I'd get Crow 105's like I said.

New timing chain.

New dampner.

Just because, it doesn't hurt and it is cheap.

Exactly

I just thought of an interesting question that maybe you guys can answer for me. I bought these roller rockers used but they did not come with pedestals so I have no clue If you need them or not. I tried looking on different sites and wasn't able to find anything. Maybe I'm just being paranoid and I don't need pedestals but I figured I'd ask.

Asking ZZP is like getting no responses anyways...

So, yeah.

I just got an email from zzp and they told me these need standoffs. Idk where to get these. Google wasn't much help.

Standoffs are probably the the same thing Harland Sharp rockers use. It's basically a pedestal for 2 rockers instead of I full metal piece that is for all the rockers. They might be singular like the Yella Terra rockers instead of double like the ones below, but I don't know for sure.



I am not 100% though. I will send a message to a guy on the local forum that I know has those Comp rockers.

Cool thanks.

Should I get the stronger pushrods from zzp? And if so which ones that way I can select the correct ones from the drop down menu. Btw I'm talking about the comp cams pushrods not the zzp custom pushrods.
