    the LOWEST max lift i've seen listed for the L76 replacement spring is .520 lift. The heads these springs come installed on from the factory state they are good for .570 lift. so there is conflicting information. even at the lowest estimate that leaves .030 clearance. by the .025 rule im ok but by the .060 rule i'm not. it would be close. better off with 1.8's ???
    The lift you see on a 1.8 rocker will be similar to the lift you see with stock rockers.

    stock is not really 1.6.

    1.8RR is not really 1.8.

    every roller rocker I have had floated more than stock.

    Meh.
