Question 1.1 ratio rockers on stock motor ?

i know they allow for a higher lift but would they benefit a stock motor?

In the gy6 .035 would be a major increase, however will there be enough clearance?

i was going to try them on the Hemi Predator 212 but there is no way to install them.

So that being known i will need to swap the head from a Champion generator to this hemi Predator for them to work. if it fits, which i believe it will.

If you didn't know: the Champion generator is another cloned engine. only thing different is the size of the crankshaft, the side cover, slightly different carb & air filter, and lifters. the head is hemispherical as well.

If the stock camshaft is .228 and lifters end up giving you and extra.035
that is like having a .263 camshaft.
Heck yeah i'm putting these on! It's the same as spending $50 - $100 on a racing camshaft! lol.
