Well me and a mate attempted the roller rockers/pushrods yesterday all was good until I snapped a valve cover bolt:cry: Torque wrench didn't click of at 8lbs - which is hand tight, should of just done it up by hand :banstick:

But my mate as cluey as he is removed the snapped bolt with a drill and easy out then put it all back together, we fired up the VZC and it was all sweet. Probably have to give it an oil change just in-case there's no metal filings moving around the motor

feels smoother but haven't gave it a good rev just yet.

How's the car with the new roller rockers?
yea things are sweet no real difference in power (standard ratio) but at least I know there not wearing out my valve guides - standard rockers makes bronzed valve guides wear out quicker.
Still figuring out my intake hopefully in the next few months

Nice! Love the Calais, I was seriously considering one but like you said, they're all Autos. I've been driving an auto(VY v6) for a while and was craving a manual. Nice dyno run too, the guys at power torque know their stuff. I'll have to look out for you on the Northside!
