What if you had enough duration????? If run run a cam with 1.6's and it clears and switch to 1.7's it will clear. Duration is not changed. What does lsa have to do with anything...... Its cam events that are important.....



Some one above warned the poster to beware of ptv clearance due to 1.7 rockers..... He doesnt even have a cam yet....

duration is the entirety of the event, add lift, and you have added lift through out the whole duration of the lobe, not just at its peak. with some healthy duration, a good wide lsa, and added lift, there is a better chance than there was that you'll have ptv clearance issues.

Wouldn't you agree?

the 1.7 rockers will give you a little more lift, and its a cheap mod to add a little more power. ptv clearance shouldnt be much of a problem, even with a fairly radical cam. 1.7 rockers are a common mod on the Tempo 2.3 engine, and there are guys running race cams, with 1.7 rockers and headls milled .090" without any ptv clearance issues. common gain with the 1.7 rockers on a stock Ford Tempo 2.3 is about 7-15hp.

Nice ride! :cool:

Stock pushrods won't work with Twisted Wedges, and the springs for .600 doesn't mean that they are good for all cams under that. If you'll get a custom cam you'll also get the correct spring info. Talk to the cam grinder about rockers. 205 CNC heads have 65cc chamber, i'd also have them milled to get more compression.

Why are you trying to throw 80 different variables out.... He was talking about going to 1.7's ..... From a 1.6 rocker to a 1.7 on the same cam.... How much do you really change of the seat?

I was just stating how 1.6 to 1.7's could change ptv clearance problems.

Never said it would.

Just saying it could, if things were as i stated.
