It will increase lift at the valve and slightly enlarge the overlap triangle. Some have had good results doing this, but it depends on which rockers you select.

Considering the lower cam lift of the 01 and 02, 1.8 rockers seems pretty safe if the valve springs are the same as the 98-00 ones. Anybody know the differences between the springs?
