The post started with the OP being concerned about clearance between the rocker and spring. Everybody seems gung-ho to spend his money on a new set of springs. MY POINT is that the size difference is minimal and should not cause any clearance issues. Hell, replace the rockers as intended and try them on the heads. If they contact the sping THEN change those.




I agree but small blocks are considerably different than big blocks when it comes to the valvetrain and clearances. A 1.625 spring will not clear my HS rockers on my W5's. There is at most .010 between the the spring and rocker at 2.0 installed height with my 1.56 springs. Just saying.
