My bad. I thought that was the site. I cannot seem to find them. Does anyone know if they went out of business or what? I could have sworn I saw them on that site.

Re: 1.7 rr ?'s

I think the other guy was reffering to the fact that you didnt list guideplates and 1.7's are non self alighning I think I could be wrong. So you need some guideplates and from everything I have readGM ones are the best to buyy others dont work well.

Oh, now it makes more sense. Usually it helps to state a reason for something instead of just having the statement, "you let me know". But yes, GMPP guide plates are the ones to use. I heard something about the other ones not working or ruining pushrods or something.

I actually learned something today . I did not know they where non-self aligning. I just noticed them and planned on researching them when I had money to actually buy them.

So you plan on machining the heads for 1.550 springs?

Scorpion Rockers: http://www.flatlanderracing.com/scorpionrockers.html
Part Number SCP1025 for 3/8 stud 1.7s
Part Number SCP1026 for 7/16 stud 1.7s

Strange that www.cdpautomachine.com lists the SCP1026 as 1.65 rockers, and www.flatlanderracing.com lists SCP1026 as 1.7? Maybe a call into www.scorpionperformance.com is in order?
