Solid Roller Cam Hellp

douglas340 said

so is it better to run 1.6 rockers rather than the 1.5 that i have now on a roller cam?? Correct me if I'm wrong, but Wouldn't it be less likely the lifters coming up to high & exposing the oil gallery?? Am I on the right track here or am I outside the ball park??

It is probably better to run 1.6 rockers for the added lift. The very minor extra intensity is peanuts. This extra rocker ratio will (or should) show a bennifit on any style cam.

Correct me if I'm wrong you say, OK, your wrong and he's why.

The extra rocker ratio effects the valve. Not the lifters because the cam makes the lifters rise. Not the rockers.
Check all parts before final installation and bolting it up. When the cam is installed, you start by decreeing the cam and then checking retainer clearance, then Valve to piston clearance, pushrod clearances, rocker contact patch and how far the lifter comes up out of its bore during the entire travel from when it is on the base circle to max lift on the lobe.
