replacing valve train parts need suggestions
Well I've finally narrowed the noise down in my car. So i'm gonna replace all the lifters and pushrods and rocker arms. The only problem is I can't seem to find a good set of regular replacement rocker arms anywhere. Who knows of a good place to get them. Also is it always necessary to replace anything else when doing lifters? I figure i'll stay on the safe side by replacing the rockers and the pushrods.

Assuming you choose to change them. I agree with the lifters. If you want stockers:
Seek a second source to verify these numbers based on the cost of them. Email GMPD directly with your year, model, and VIN for verification.

Is this the 94 SSEi we are talking about?
You should be able to get new rockers from Advance auto parts... The Pivot on the 93-95 3800 engines are roller bearing pivots... The wear on the rocker pushrod seat should be at a minimum the same goes for the tip of the rocker..
On an older 3800 with a Pivot which is metal aginst metal, the pivots and rockers do tend to wear... But this is not normally the case with the 93-95 series I engines...

I'll bet a set of aluminum roller rockers are cheaper than stockers at $20 per. That'* a little nuts.
I got a set of el cheapo Crane roller rockers for the car in the pic below for $180 from Summit, and it'* got 2 more cylinders.
