So i got the valve covers off and it was a broken spring retainer on the intake valve of the # 5 cylinder. It was pretty smashed up too. So today we are putting on new valve springs and cobra 1.7 rockers. With the mods in the sig, do u think i will get any power out of this? Thanks guys

Yes, you should have more power. A 1.7 ratio rocker is always a good idea with the stock cam, however, it makes camshaft selection much more difficult, because more cams are designed with a 1.6 rocker in mind.

Good thing you found the problem as fast as you did. You could have bombed a piston if you let it go on for too long.

Hopefully you can knock down a 13.5 or better this summer!
