I have full roller stainless 1.6's.
Pretty heavy. Adds weight to the valve train.
A little noisier than the stamped steel.
No noticeable gains but then again it was part of a major engine build.

"Pretty heavy. Adds weight to the valve train."

Yeah, I just learned this recently. Your are better off with an aluminum roller rocker. You will notice that Comp Cams has quietly come out with a high grade aluminum roller rocker arm.
