Good to hear about a company taking responsibility like that, just shows their honest. Good luck with the promotion test as well.

The new 1.5 ratio rocker arms... I kinda wish they were 1.6, but who knows. I might change it down the road.

If you're not sure of the clearance, DO NOT use 1.6 rockers, unless you're going to check clearance with clay, just my opinion of course. Glad you got your engine back together!! How did your advancement test go?? :D

I can show you pics of what happens when there is a clearance issue...lol....its not real pretty. Along with what Phil Posted, I would recomend useing what the shop sent you, thats most likly wht they sent 1.5s not 1.6s....but you could always call and ask them if they will work, and even if they say they will, take the time to clay for clearance just to be sure. When Valves and Pistons clooide, it messes up ALOT of things.....

Hell I'd clay the 1.5s just to see how much room you had for future knowledge, anyway. Good call Phil.
