Valvetrain

Gen 3 stamped steel rocker arms are 1.6:1, just like the roller rockers used in later gen 3 motors. The roller rockers are better however due to having less friction at the fulcrum. For valve springs, you can use LS1 or LS6 springs, using the proper hardware.

Requirements for using LS1 or LS6 springs


LS1 Springs
LS1 Spring Seats (bronze shim)
3.1L vin"T" mpfi Valve seals 6 Exhaust, 6intake (they are different)
For the LS6 Springs, the GM part# is: 12586484


You can reuse the gen 3 locks and cap if you want, or the LS1.


The newer GEN 3 heads starting in late 99 have a bigger valve guide. the LS1 spring seat will NOT fit unless you grind it out with a die grinder stone bit and drill to 9/16 I beleive. Use 92 GM 2.2 Valve seals on these guides as a perfect fit. All GEN3 early design valve guides will accept LS1 spring seats and gen2 valve seal with no alteration nesessary.
