    yep, depending on what cam, you may need to convert to double vavle springs and and always put new rocker arms, there cheap to buy. Not only that, you will wreck your cam. I have seen this done, thats why iam letting you know.

    Depending on what engine you have, you also need to set up the rocker geometry correctly, which means making the valves the correct length etc.
