1.5 rockers lift the valve 1.5 times higher than the cam lobe lifts the follower/pushrod, i think standard is circa 1.3.

full rollers are supposed to relive side loadings

Titan and Windsor are hands down the best.

remember that the std 'turbo' twin springs are not suitable for 1.5 rockers and a cam with any more lift than standard... On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:

I would on a turbo, but a nat-asp; a cam change is much greater benefit... On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:

Didnt come out right, meant i wouldnt just chuck them on, as we've said all the valve springs need checking for binding etc |

1.5 rockers are fine on the Turbo standard valve springs, as long as the standard cam is retained.
