No but you will have to replace the springs with a more aggressive cam.

You ARE suposed to replace the rocker arms since the wear pads arent removable. When you replace the rockers you are also suposed to replace the rocker shafts. An easier route would be to get the stockers cleaned up. Alot of people just dont bother but when one piece has wear and the other is brand new then they rub on each other, it causes accelerated wear on the new part.

I just figured it was the warrior in his siggy. Your are suposed to clean up whatever rides on the cam on any machine when u get a cam. I guess you dont have too... it just makes it last longer.
