RE: 1.6 & 1.7 rockers for homeade dual pattern cam
i've heard alot of people who wanted to do it.
i'd be willing to take the other 8 1.7's off of you if they were 3/8 stud mounted crane energizers (and if the price was uber cheap) just to see how they reacted on my car since i have a single pattern cam.

The whole idea is interesting, thought about doing that myself with my TFS heads.
The Chevy folks have been doing this for years, mostly on circle track stuff I think so it may just work good.......

It should work pretty well for exhaust scavenging..... I dont see any problems with doing it.
Hell I disconnected 2 cylinders and drove my car for over a week until parts arrived.

the exhaust valves are smaller because of how a motor works... its not a flaw persay... every head you see their USUALLY smaller to some degree... its easier to push the exhaust out, then it is to pull the intake in... hence the valve sizes
anyway...you can buy just 8 rockers
i dont know if its worth it or not
and if you do do it, check PTV... especially since its the exhaust side
