    Going to the local wreckers today to look for parts, how would i tell the diff between my std rockers and a set of upgraded roller rockers? Will the ratio and brand be stamped in them or how do i tell? Cheers

    Proper roller rockers will have a roller at the tip of the rocker where it pushes down on the valve. The standard rockers, and some of the cheap ass "so-called" roller rockers dont have the roller tip on them. (proper roller rockers such as yella terra will have roller tip as well as needle roller bearings in the fulcrum.)

    if your just swapping rockers over it should be fine, it is highly advised you get new bolts as the stock ones are single use TTY

    Just standard ratio roller rockers won't make much difference. Your chance of finding some are pretty slim.
