1.6 rockers?

see sig for engine combo. Does anyone think there will be a problem putting in 1.6 roller rockers on this combo? The exhaust side of the heads has a mild port job on it. Any idea on what kind of power increase I should see with the 1.6 compared to the 1.5 rollers I already have. World products says the springs on the head are good to .560 lift anyone know about this?
Thanx.

you'll up the cam lift to around .550 and see a slight preformance gain, most likely not a lot but still a gain.
