I have the 1.8 crane roller rockers. They fit under the stock valve covers.

I have a vinci ultra torque cam that I put in at the same time so I couldn't tell you how much of a difference just the rockers made. No problems at all after you get them adjusted properly.

I have Harland Sharp 1.7:1 roller rockers, been about a year or so with no problems. They fit under the valve covers, but clearance seemed a little tight where on the pushrod side. I relieved the head a little in those spots with a small grinding bit just for some insurance. So far so good.

Yella Terra or Jesel non-adjustables. That is all.

Bud Hayes 3....I gotta say.....that's a good looking job on your heads with the Rockers. You got a real clean looking head setup. I like it.

Jessel shaft mount ones gets my vote if you have the $$$$! One of the highest quality indestructable roller rockers out there.
