DO NOT USE ROCKER ARM STOPPERS!!

Other than that, good buy :)

How much did you procure this example for? Any rust??

5500. Minor surface rust on the bottom side of the hood. Why wouldn't I put my stoppers on?

No stoppers = thrown/broken rockers at the worst
Stoppers = Holes in Piston(s) which equates to full engine rebuild at minimum

Choose your poison. Just do a quick search and you will see

Good luck!

Consensus these days is not to use them on mostly stock SR's. I had them in my first car in 2003, skipped them for my new car.

Take care of your motor and it won't matter.

Its seems some people like them and some people hate them. I personally would rather replace a ras and roacker arm that tried to float than one that did and have to replace valves, heads, etc..
