which wires are intimidating to you? ALL plugs are clearly marked with different colors and no two plugs are the same, you can NOT get them messed up.

Oh i didnt mean the spark plug wires just the other wires.

Ya, its not bad at all. I didnt use zip ties and Im not sure why you would need them. If your worried, take a few pics before you start or make notes. Take your time. It took me 6 hours and this was taking my time, cleaning and painting valve covers and stopping for a cold one here and there. Once you have the rocker covers off, clean them and put some small dabs (about 6 evenly spaced)of gasket sealent around the rocker cover and install your gaskets. That way when you put the rocker covers back on, your gaskets will stay put. Nothing tricky, just a matter of removing stuff and putting it back together. Good luck, my old back was broke after doing this install.

I'd recommend replacing your valve seals while having the springs off personally. They just pop right off and you use a 12pt socket to tap them back on. I recommend these from PRJ Performance... Prj. Performance - Viton Valve Seals - Details .

yeah i will buy some I also bought retainers from zzp.

now when you go and install you ockers nd springs does that give you more horespower
04-13-2009
Yes it will

cant wait to see how it turns out. wanna do these on my car after some more modding. is it a good idea to get new valves while doing this job as well?
04-13-2009
I will let you know how the install goes and how much of a gain i can feel.
04-13-2009
im not sure of the exact gain but ive heard it will pull alot harder n the upper rpm's
04-13-2009
3500RPM+ is where is shines
04-12-2009
Have to pull the heads to put new valves on.
04-13-2009
^^^ Thats why I'm not doing them.

Rockers are just a cheaper alternative to a cam...they make somewhere close to a cam but not quite as much...I know for a fact I've been beat by a intercooled and rockered car with my XP Setup and that thing was stupid fast...
And yeah when I had my 1.84's vs. stock I could really feel a difference around 4-5K
04-13-2009
Who was that guy by chance? Is he still around with that same setup? Just curious if I know him....
