1.6 adjustables from crane.  If you go to any good muscle car shop they will have the rr's, lifters, springs etc...  I put them on my 2.2L cav which is the same as the 3.1L.

95-97 2.2L cav/sunfire/beretta etc have the same rr's as the 3.1L.  When you ask for them you ask for a 3.1L, if you have a 2.2L 4 cyl you also have to ask for a 3.1L parts minus lifters of course.  The stock is 1.5rr  I purchased the 1.6 adjustable.   Going from 1.5 to 1.6 made my car feel like a ohc.  It revved higher faster and smoother.  They were rollers of course relieving some of the friction.  Go to cranes site they should have 3.1L listing now since so many J-bodies have had there heads done.

I've got my heads off right now, should I replace my lifters and rockers with the crane items listed above to gain a little performance.  Do i torque the rockers to the same spec as the originals.  Also, does the oil orifice in the lifter have to point in any certain direction??  I assume that the lifters spin freely once the engine is rotating so the orifices don't matter??  Was the part # 25759--12 (12 being the amount needed I believe)???  Did they come with the studs??

Am getting the Cranes (1:60) put on at this very time, there is a write up on puttign the 1:60 rockers on one of the Oldsmobile pages.  The only change is getting GEN I rocker arm studs - they are adustible, the GEN II are not.
