crane rocker arms?
crane rocker arms? are they worth getting? I am adding ported LS1 heads 228/228 cam new lifters, springs and pushrods. Will the crane 1.7 be worth the money for this set up?

I think that the people who have problems are not doing something correctly,pushrod length/valve springs/lash all the things that come with setting up your valve train.I say if your going to do it right then get them and they are well worth the money.But if you just plan on throwing them on ,then dont.

well you can just put em on, except they are designed to work best with their own springs. a lot goes into them working their best. your call.
Also spring pressure like you sorta said is an issue,but their is no springs that are designed specifically for these rockers.You need to do the math and see what pressure is required when raising the cam lift.Talking about 1.8's of course.I believe the 1.7 are a direct replacement.They both have accelerated lift points though.So you need to make sure your springs can handle them.
