Default Roller Rockers

What should I go with on stock heads? 1.6 or 1.7? Also, will these clear stock valve covers?

Yes, either 1.70's or 1.72's... You won't be able to really tell the difference, but it does make some. And yes they will check out with the valve yo piston clearence. Will raise your Lift to about .475 with Stock cam.. That is what I am doing soon.

i think you would notice a difference. but, the bad thing with those rockers is they put a bigger strain on the cam and timing chain (if its all stock and high mileage). remember, longer rockers means like extending your arm out and trying to hold up a brick, the longer your arm is, the harder it is. essentially.

youll be close with the E cam with piston to valve clearence. with that cam and 1.7s or 1.72s your lift will be .528/.528 not the best for a stock heads without porting.. so go with 1.6s with your stockers

ok, thanks. I had heard somewhere that I should go with 1.6's but just wanted to check before I order all this stuff.
