1.6rr, longer pushrods?

If I used 1.6rr would I have to get longer pushrods or is the stock pushrod lenght alright? Is there anything else that you need to go from 1.5 - 1.6 rockers except for taller valve covers?

Thanks,

Are you sure you even need taller valve covers? I've seen quite a few people running 1.6's under the stock covers.

So you actually don't need taller valve covers? I can spend that money on other stuff now!!

Thanks

I have Crane Gold 1.6 RRs and am still running the factory valve covers unmodified without a problem.

Is there any other self-aligning rockers made except those Crane gold race rockers?

Comp Cams 1317 and 1318 forged CrMo steel rockers are self-aligning.
