dont actually have the rocker gear at all,only the head and valves,still waitin for the cam,are the rockers different for xrs,i thought that the xr series only had slightly stiffer springs?im usin standar au springs,will it valve bounce easier with standar rockers?

If ur gonna use the EF cam u will need the EF rockers also as AU rockers are different ratio. springs shouldnt bounce XR cam is nothing major. But im not sure if EF springs and AU springs are the same.

Yeah they bolt in the same, You might wanna ask around about the springs, should just get some Crane springs and whack in save u doing it later if you get a bigger cam.
