Well just for all of you to know 1.6 rockers do fit with out hitting the pushrod on the head, as i have heard that some say they do and some say they dont, but as for stamped rockers that Im using they clear fine

 

what's a puchrod? you mean pushrod? if they don't touch the pushrod you may have problems, touching the pushrod is a good thing.

 

Isn't that illegal in your state ede?

 

Some stamped 1.6 rockers (cause the pushrod) DO hit the head in the area of the guideslot.
Been there, ground that................

 

The ones from summit with the extra long slot fit fine for me no issues wuth rubbing.

 

That's fine, sometimes they will fit, but you should still check them. It will show up this way. If they barely hit, then at idle there will be lifter noise like a mis-adjustment, but from different lifters, not just one, or it will be intermittant. Really, it will drive you nuts trying to figure out what's goin' on.
The deal is that the pushrods are just barely hitting enough to cause the lifter to bleed down (forcibly) and cause the rattle. When you crack the throttle the extra (oil) pressure forces the lifter to pump up and the noise will go away. The area they hit is the top of the guideslot. If not corrected one of three things will happen. 1: The pushrod will wear down a few thousandths and the noise will go away, and all will be good. 2: The pushrod will wear away and then when you rev it up it will break and wreak total havoc. or 3: They will bend and the noise will go away and when you rev it they will break and wreak total havoc.
The way I fixed mine, and this is somewhat crude, is that I taped off everything that I could, stuck rags in everything else and using a pushrod as a guide, used a die grinder to "massage" the top of the guideslot. It doesn't take much. Then I cleaned everythign up with a shop vac.
It all depends on gaskets, deck heights, slot , really a bunch of variables. Some will be fine, some won't.
