should i buy new rocker arms when replacing cam????
here is the situation
on my new project vehicle i am currently building my head
and a suggestion came up upon purchasing the cam of corse it was that i should replace the rocker arms when getting a new cam to prevent premature cam failure the specs of the cam are as follows:
232' DURATION @ .050 LIFT, AND .440 LIFT
the head already has all this stuff i just put in:
oversized valves
dual valve springs
new valve guides, seals, seats, titanium retainers
port and polish
so what do you guys think

Unfair poll,, Or meaningless. Depends on the condition of your original rocker arms and the LB rate of your new springs. Rocker arms develope sort of a wear pattern in them,, Luckily,, Honda springs are rated very low, so cam swaps usually dont require rocker arm replacement.. But,, If you increased valve spring pressure by lets say,, 50% ??? Why risk it??
