I take that back i have now read that this adds 25 -30 horsepower over the stock rocker arms.
Atleast money well spent.
For now i will change the oil to greater viscosity, and hope that helps but i will soon upgrade to some of these.
Another question my noise is coming from weak rocker arms or could this be that the push rods or valve or something else there is worn???

im going to go out on a limb here and say you probally have some bent rods in there and if you dont yet every time you drive it you are pushing your luck. play it safe fix it before ya do more damage.

well that is the kind of info i was looking for ... why would you say the rods are bent....

I didn't even think of that.
Bent pushrods. That could cause a nice ticking. Pull off the rocker, pull out the pushrod. Roll it on glass. If it isn't straight, you will know.

will do...if i decide to change the rocker arms i can do that myself right? its just take them off and put the new ones on... or those it require aligning or special tools.
Do they really give 25 hp?

Well you see Erdal the previous owner(My sister's husband) already spent those 6000 dollars thats why i even bought this car.
Within the last 2 years:
Rebuilt Engine
Rebuilt Transmission
New opti-spark
Paint job and the list goes on so i bought this car with mindset of not spending a penny.
W/E i still love my car

So... Do rocker arms really give you 25 hp?
