[QUOTE="DCguy, post: 16587187, member: 196849"] As long as your rockers spin freely, don't have any hairline fractures, things like that they should be fine. New lifters are always good insurance. Make sure to soak them in oil overnight before you install. The GT500 rockers are nice but not necessary and (I think?) have to be used with their lifters or you'll have oil pressure issues. The benefit to those rockers is they are cupped where they contact the lifter, whereas the Termi stuff has a pinhole there. The absence of the hole results in higher oil pressures and can be beneficial if you're turning higher rpm's or doing sustained WOT runs. I'm not sure if it makes any difference for higher compression motors or not. If you're using a 3V/GT500 oil pump for increased flow, the GT500 followers are a good way to round out the oiling. For sprockets, the Comp primaries are all that's available right now, but make sure to get the V2 versions (dark). The older stuff was known for slipping. Comp have corrected this with the newer gears. Secondaries there's L&M and MMR also makes billet units for a bit less. They also make a billet one piece crankshaft gear (not adjustable). I would also definitely upgrade the trigger wheel from stamped steel to a billet piece. Again, MMR has one and so does Accufab, but there's requires a particular crankshaft gear be run to use it. Lastly, if you're running big 12mm ARP bolts on the cams, I would pick up a set of the Accufab spacers as well. The increased torque of those bolts has been known to warp the factory spacers and is good insurance. [/QUOTE]
