I bought a 96 explorer engine to rebuild but when I got it apart, it still looks new inside with no wear anywhere, so I'm just going to put new rings and bearings and cam in it. I want a bit more compression though, so I want to mill the heads. How much milling can I go without having to do away with my stock rockers? Has anyone here used the adjustable shaft mount roller rockers from C.A.T.? I'd like adjustable rockers but I dont want to have the heads machined for stud rockers. If I can get away with stock rockers though, I'll do that, so I'd like to know the max I can mill the heads without needing adjustable rockers. thanks

Engine Suggestions on an engine rebuild. Stock cam/GT40Ps or aftermarket on both for a fun weekend driver?
