Do 1.7 roller rockers need a tune? I am trying to get around 200 rwhp without spending too much money. Trying to save up for a built engine but want some fun along the way.
I don't think after market roller rockers will fit. You'll have to research this but I think the stamped 1.7 rockers from a 351 motor will clear. They should be a lot cheaper also.
I originally used Crane Cobra 1.7 roller rockers, and more recently comp ultra gold 1.7 roller rockers, both under the factory valve covers - which I still use. I had to remove the oil baffle to fit the Crane Cobras, and had to grind a little bit to clear the ultra golds, but they fit.

Did removing the oil baffle do anything besides give clearance?
