Thread: Rocker install?

I would also suggest springs. Your car is 10 years old and unknown miles to us. Your springs aren't fresh and may not like the valvetrain being changed up. Keep in mind, you'll be compressing them further.

Front, I undo the bolts to the coil pack bracket and slide it out toward the battery. Doesn't fully have to come off. Poof done.
Rear, Rock motor forward. Drain some coolant (in your year) and have a set of coolant elbows on hand. Take the alternator and it's bracket/tensioner and support bracket from rear of motor/sc off. Lift valve cover and you are in. Rear is a little more difficult than the front because the heater hoses are nearby and the EGR bracket also needs to be removed. Overall though, it's a few more steps.

Is moving the alt not needed on the 97-98? I didn't even touch the alt when I did mine

Nope..the bracket didn't stick over the valve cover in those years.

Souds pretty easy, how many bolts are holdding the rocker? 1?

was not necessary for me to remove the coil pack for the front valve cover, just the fuel rails, and dog bone brackets
I did have to take off the alternator, serpentine belt, coolant bottle, engine brackets for the rear valve cover

Dat's why I sez'd it.
