Rockers and Pistons

[jrockcc]

I am new to the inline 6 performance side and I have some questions maybe someone can help me with. The first is to find out the part numbers and manufactures or 1.6 rockers or roller rockers? I know I can get them from Classic but was wondering if I can buy them anywhere else. Next I want some high performance pistons but I don't to spend $700. Does anyone have any recommendations as what the next best pistons would be or unless if anyone knows where to get a better price on some forged pistons?

Classic Inlines, and Clifford are about it for the high performance rocker arms for the small block inline six.

NAPA does list replacement 1.6:1 adjustable rockers and still lists the rocker shaft.

Most of the custom piston places can make you forged pistons for the small block inline six but no one stocks them, they are custom which is why it costs a arm and a leg.

To get pistons, pins, and spiralocks cost me $1000.00 but I felt that since I will be turbocharging the car it was a must have because I don't have the money to redo this til I get it right, it has to be right the first time. And only forged pistons are forgiving of mistakes with a turbo. I also sent my pistons to a local place to get skirts dry film lubricant coated and thermal barrier coated on the tops.

What's wrong with the napa rockers? Do you know the part numbers or how you would order them as.

My apology, I thought it said they were 1.6:1, they are stock which should make them 1.52:1

But they are adjustable.

Some food for thought:

12 rocker arms @ $12.69 = $152.28
One rocker arm shaft = $ 29.99

Total $182.27

Does not come with the shaft mounted spacer springs and is not assembled.


Classic Inlines sells a compete adjustable rocker shaft assembly with 1.52:1 adjustable rockers for $195.00

If you have a NAPA store close you can walk in and order the parts that would be good, otherwise if you have to mail order them it might be worth your while to buy them from Classic Inlines.
