Default 1.6 OEM Rockers

Would there be much of a gain on a stock motor.
Switching to OEM style 1.6 rocker arms.

I have Crane 1.6 rr now, but I think I am going to sell them.

I can get a set of oem style 1.6s for free. So I was just wondering if that would benefit a car with stock internals

I think the crane 1.6 RRs (the gold race ones) are the exact same as the GMPP 1.6 RRs..

Just remember to replace the valvesprings. The stockers are reallly really close to coil bind with 1.6 rockers.
