Default What all do you need for 1.7 rockers

I know its been debated a hundred times between 1.6 and 1.7 rockers, but Im not going to be cammed for awhile so Im swinging for the fences with my bolton only setup. I know ill need better springs, but would I need longer pushrods due to the bump in lift?

No, the same pushrod length you are using now will work best. The pushrod lenght isn't effected b/c of the way the rocker multiplies lift. If you are going SA you really only need springs, but hardened pushrods are a good idea for the extra spring pressures.

Don't forget about guideplates, if you're going NSA. It'd also be a good idea to change valve seals while you're in there.
