I'd be real careful with a 1.7
Do you have enough valve spring for them? Will you have enough clearance between the retainer and the guide for them?
Will the valve covers work with them?

i cant say what difference they made cause when i put in my RR i also did afr165's, new push rods, and 24# injectors. theyve been on the car for a while now and they are still working great. blew a head gasket right after putting the sc on so when i had the motor torn down i looked them all over when i cleaned them and they showed no signs of wear
