Robert I had seen your comments about a strengthened valve train before, I recently had my head gaskets replaced and new hydraulic lifters, I asked the mechanic to replace anything that was suspect but he found nothing else to replace(at least in the top end). The engine is a 1.9 litre with 122k miles and an even 135psi on all cylinders. Does this sound like a good candidate for the 1.25 rocker? I'm reserving judgement for a while on the chip as a lot of other list members have raised some valid points about its value.
