Default Crane Gold 1.6 RRs

Post up experiences with these RRs if you have them. I have them now(in the car when I bought it). I am getting a bigger cam, eventually. 23x/23x mid to high .500s in lift. Similar is size to some of the LE2 cams. Will these RRs work for my application? Looking to possibly spin to 6200 or so.

Had them through several cam changes and many years. Spinning close to 7000 with them. They should be fine.

I am running them, and had no problems. They seem like a good rocker, and will be using them in my LE3

You'll clear the piston with those. What kind of valvesprings do you have?

Default crane golds

running them on 355 cc306 to 7000 many times.careful on spring pressures to much will cause 3/8 studs to flex at high rpm other than that they worked great for me!
