    Default rocker rollers 1.98

    would a set of 1.98 rocker rollers do damage to a 'well worn in' VS engine?
    would i be safer going to a set of 1.90/1.95?
    as far as mods go I've only fitted a CAI with extractors/exhaust on the way

    Broken valve springs, bent pushrods - who knows? It's a bit of a lottery really. 'well worn in' could mean anything. If it has been well maintained then they will be fine. On the other hand you might be in all sorts of trouble on a 100,000km engine that hasn't had an oil change once in it's life. More likely it will just accellerate whatever is first on the list to break in the valve train.

    I was under the impression that ALL ratios fit under the standard rocker covers
