One other thing worth mentioning is: The rockers i have ARE LABELED WRONG!!! I found that when i built the engine. They are stamped 1.5 and are actually a tick OVER 1.6. So, it's remotely possible that your buddy has a 1.6 ratio and doesnt know. Also if you could give us anything you might know of his valvetrain as described in my previous post Thanks!
Sorry guys I get off doing 500 other things and lose track of things on here.
Anyways Hardcore now that you mention it, he found a set somewhere then called me the other day and said he needed different length pushrods....
I questioned the ratio of the ones he got because of that but not sure he verified it after I talked to him at the track last week.
