Hi, I purchased the twisted wedged heads and a tf stage 1 cam, my question is has anybody ran this setup with 1.7 rr and stock pistons? I know I should clay it but if somebody had problems with this I will have to return for 1.6's thanks

The timing at the valves changes a bit, in particular the valve lift and speed that the valves open and close.

Luckily, near or peak lift occurs when your piston is near 2 inches GOING DOWN in the piston cylinder wall

The added lift the 1.7 roller rocker gives should not affect your p-v clearance numbers in where you can't run the cam.

The best thing to do though, is check

Some extra information for you

TFS 1 - 221*/225* - 275*/279* - .499"/.510" - .312"/.319" - 112* - 108*/116* - 2,000-5,500 RPM
1.6 Rocker Ratio
Intake Opening: 3* BTDC
Intake Closing: 38* ABDC
