Default Question for the S1 gurus.....

Did the late 92'* have roller rockers? My car was manufactured 6-31-92, IE one day away from the '93 model years. Is it possible I have roller rockers? Let me know, as I don't feel like pulling my valve covers anytime soon.

Yup. My 93 initially had the solid rockers.

The 92 heads will not allow you to bolt on the roller pivot heads either. 93 was a wierd year in that the L27s got them, the L67s didn't, but since both used the same heads, it is possible to upgrade a 93 L67 to use the rollers.

My 93 SSEi was an early production 93, so it *might* be possible for you to have the later heads.

There was a thread started by Willwren a while ago and I don't think we found any 93 L67s with the roller pivot rockers.

Darn, well it was worth a shot. Anyone think it is worth swapping my 92 heads out so I could have roller rockers? Or is it just not worth it?

Yeah i figured it'* just not worth ripping the heads off to gain 5hp from rockers. I think it will just be left alone. I think the most I'll go on mods is a 2.2" pulley anyways later on.
