What spring for L92 solid roller? I looked for something on this for a while but no one seems to be talking about solid roller L92's. Thought I might go ahead and get some heads while they were cheap (they might go up, you never know) and hang on to them. Any other machining that might have to be done besides shaft rockers? Or does all conventional wisdom apply to these? (No flames please, I've never owned an LSx engine).

Do you meant welding (or raising) the pocket where the spring sits?
And why would a taller pocket be beneficial?
It would seem like you could then only use a shorter spring.
he means that the spring pocket isnt gunna be thick enough after maching for a bigger spring diameter, due to the port roof being right there. end result being a crack in the cylinder head
