OK guys here it goes again, i want to get a set of roller rocker arms but i have a few questions first. My car is a 1995 Mustang GT. Stock heads. 84,000 on the clock.
#1- Do i have STUD mount or PEDESTAL mount rocker arms?
#2- Are 1.7 roller rocker arms a good choice since I plan to keep my stock cam?
#3-What length pushrods do i need to use? Can i use the stock-length FRPP hardened pushrods? Do i need guideplates?
#4- Are shims required for adjustment?
#5- Will my valve covers fit the FRPP 1.7s? If not will a Cobra valve cover give me enough rocker arm clearance?
#6- How do i check for valve clearance?
#7- How hard is the install and on average how long does it take?
I apologize for all the questions in one post but i wanted to get all the info i could before tackling something like this, and of course any other info/insight/suggestions would be much apreciated.
