Project Resto - Supercharged 1992 GT 'Vert

Yeah all these went to the shop. I haven't touched the heads until they were put on the car.

And since I'm learning about rockers, and different styles, I didn't touch them until I knew what I was getting into.

When I had a better idea of what I was doing, I noticed four rockers were upside down....the cracked pedestal is off a rocker that was upside down...and that was off cylinder 4. I only put the push rodss in on cylinder 1. And whenever I was taking the rockers off they were on pretty tight

Do you got any recommendations on pedestal mount replacement? Will any pedestal work?

Would these be suitable? I can only imagine those pedestal mounts are the same for all pedestal mounted rockers.

Woooo. I'll order them now. I can't wait to get this puppy running again. My buddy told me the other day this combo was rare. An LX with GT ground effects....does anyone else now about it being a factory option?

Reviving this thread again....

I never updated this but in August before I left for work, I pedestal mounts for the rocker arms went in with no problem. I think after everything was said and done I was hitting the torque spec (forgot what it was) at 2/3's of a turn every time. And I was using 2 shims of different sizes for all of them to get it right.

Gotta refresh my memory and throw the intake manifold on this weekend. and hopefully the other bits and pieces.

If i remember correctly whenever we took the heads off, there were rockers in certain places that were grinded down on the sides to prevent them from hitting the valve covers. Now, I am pretty sure those are not in the same spot anymore after getting them back from the shop. So that will be the first task before it all goes back together.

But, does anyone know of a valve cover that I could get that offers more clearance, without affecting other stuff like intake plenum.
