Dumb question on the HS rockers, i got a kit from another member last week, but have no idea which way the mounts are supposed to be facing, grove up or down? and what is the piece in the bottom right corner of the image?? thanks for any help guys

The way you have it on the lower one. Raised edges up.....The "pedistal" slides into the groove of that plate.
 
If you wan installation instructions or someone local to show you how they go on just hit me up. Very simple and I don't mind showing you how to change out rockers and springs

Springs will need to be done especially if you want a turbo kit :)
 
Hell yea, that would be awesome, I got this **** valve spring compressor and keep on dropping the damn valve spring retainers. I already know I'm gonna end up throwing tools changing the rear springs.
 


Use a magnet. Makes life a LOT simpler.

First you put the plate with the machined side up (groove cut in it) then you put the pedestal on there (piece in the bottom right corner) then you install the rocker with the flat side of the fulcrum (piece in the middle of the rocker with a hole in it that spins) facing up, then install the bolt.

What do you need that for? Just get a pocket magnet from the parts store. When you start reinstalling don't try putting both locks back in at the same time.

Yea, I know how they work. I own one and its useless.
But you said you didn't have room for a pocket magnet.
If you use a pocket magnet it'll work just as good as a useless tool added to the toolbox.
Btw, the keepers aren't going to just fall out of the retainer when you compress the spring.

So I finally finished up my rocker install, any guess around what I'm sitting at now power wise?
Mods are: HS 1.9 RR's, LS6 springs, oil restricted pushrods, ZZP powerlog, ZZP uncatted downpipe, 160* tstat, 3.4 MPS.
Getting a full tune next week but just curious around what I will be at
 


I only run it in the summer. I have my Honda for winter driving. I might go 180* because having 3 cars is getting pricey
