stock cam+1.7 rockers I wouldn't worry about at all.

you can still check PTV. if you don't have the right pushrods/havn't checked your roller rocker geometry, then yea, I would get a adjustable pushrod (trickflow sells one @ summit for $15) some checker springs, and a feeler gauge and you will be good to go.

can set up your geometry for your rockers, and check PTV in about 15min
