Doing some measurements. Was looking at 1.6 rockers to give some added lift. After doing all the calculations, i ended up with .027 clearence before coil bind on the valve spring. Too small? Whats the recomended?

It won't fit in my car Brian! LOL Seen your old nova at delmar a few weeks ago.. Still had your name and number on it crossed out. And why get a big block when we can make a small block run quicker than most big blocks.....<evil grin>
