Army187 has a TFS2 cam and 170 TF heads and i think he just BARELY cleared the pistons.

1.7's will probably not get away, you might not hit the exhaust, but itll very, VERY close to the piston...

indeed.

I have 1.6 rockers, 170cc twisted wedge heads, and the stage 2 cam installed "strait up"

I was VERY close, my measurements had me about .140 clear, maybe a little more, but I was happy with that, so I didn't measure PTV any further.

I wouldn't even waste the time ordering 1.7's and trying them out. If I remember right, they raise the lift about .0500 to like .0700 depending. so I dont think theres a chance to clear safely.


OP already PM'ed me and I gave him my opinion.
