Just in case anyone is interested, Sam from SoCal Dakota is offering the Crower 1.7 ratio roller rockers (standard kit for the 3.9) for an incredible $305 shipped. The deal is that he needs at least 5 orders (really 4 orders, because I already jumped on this one) to make this work. This is (by far) the best price I've seen for these! (Sam's normal low price for the standard 1.7 kit for the 3.9 is $350 shipped.)


Check out the Group Buy Forum for info.

Do you only need the kit and tools to do this job? Does the kit come with everything I need for my 02 3.9L? Or do you need modified valve covers and springs?

You'll need to bang down the baffles in the valve covers to make room for the rockers. Alternatively, Sam has mentioned that he has modified covers for sale. I think he gets about $100 (plus your old covers) for the pair.

Otherwise, all you need is the kit, loc-tite and your tools to do the job. If you plan to "modify" the covers yourself (which I plan on doing), you'll need a hammer and a block of wood. Obviously, I haven't done this before, but from what I've read on this board, the whole thing should only take a few hours.

Oh, you shouldn't need new springs if you go with the standard kit. I think that you might need to though if you opt for the rev kit (which also comes with guide plates and longer pushrods).

Hey xmr-- I'll make it up to you.

Anything else you need, let me know-- I'll discount it to cover that.

I'm starting to get the feeling that I'm going to have to pay full price for those rockers.

Sam,

Any chance we can get a deal like that on the rev limitter kit, which I wrote you about. Just thought I'd ask.
