1.6 R.R. Suggestions
I am kooking into 1.6 roller rockers for my car. I have heard that Crane makes a pretty good set, but I also want to change out the valve springs to be safe. Which brand should I get? Any hints or tips about installion would be greatly appreciated! Fill free to share any info...

Comp Cams Pro Magnum 1.6 self align.
Crane 10308-1 springs would be good also, though they might be overkill for the stock cam. They handle .600lift and 7000rpm.
I am running both on my car. Im also not sure, but I thing the Comp S/A's can take more lift than the Crane S/A's before you have to go non-self align and guide plates. So thats a plus if you ever install a larger cam. While your at it you might as well replace the rocker studs and go 7/16". Don't forget a good set of valve seals, there not over $50.
I also would reccomend CM Motorsports or ThunderRacing, thats were I get 95% of my parts.
