Would replacing rocker arms make much difference? I'm hearing the stock rocker arms are very inaccurate in weight due to the fact that they weigh them in batches of like...500 or something? If they do make a good difference...what kinds would you guys recommend?

ive never heard of replacing them because of inaccurate weights. [&:]

you can replace them with roller rockers to cut down on friction (and weight if youre using aluminum ones), but even then the gains are marginal and probably dont justify the expense unless youre in a race motor situation where every little bit counts.

what roller rockers fit a 96 blazer 2wd? I just bought a set from summit for 3/8 stud and it was too tight wouldnt slide all the way down on stud.
