question about roller rockers

ok i have some roller rockers, 15 are 1.5 one is 1.52. would this hurt the motor any if i use the 1.52 along with the rest? or should i buy another 1.5. if i buy another one will it make a difference if it is a different brand?

Re: question about roller rockers

Well... some people will tell you to get a new one. 1.52 ratio is the difference of only 4-5 lift. That is not really enough to even notice. I mean, you could have a worn spring and it would create a bigger difference than that.

My vote is go ahead and use it. It will not hurt, but it will always haunt you to know that you have it rigged.

Re: question about roller rockers

anyone else? i know it won't really effect the valve too much like nelapse said but, it is smaller and i didn't know if the weight reduction on that will matter any. also i looked at summit and i can get on for about $13. would it be better to just do that?

Yeah definately buy a new one if you can.

I was unaware you could just buy one. Usually 8 or 16 sets.

Buy one dude, peace of mind is worth $13
