Will my vavles hit with 1.6RR

I have a stock bottom end on my 89 L98 engine with a Crane 2032 cam that has 452 lift on intake and 465 lift on exaust with 1.5 rockers. If I put 1.6 roller rockers in do I need to worry about the valves hitting the pistons. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You Scott

No. No need to worry.

You'll need new valve springs though, if you didn't already replace them with real ones (not stock replacement) when you put in the cam.

Oh... details....

I don't know. Those heads have a reputation for being a problem in that area. Best thing to do would be to measure the clearance with some clay.
