any issues with 1.6 ratio roller tip rockers when installed with factory valve springs on a 2.8l v/6?
(valve spring bind? ecu problems?)

Nope. It just breaths better. Of course this is assuming the springs are still within specs.

No issues at all. I been running them for over a year now.

I put a set of 1.6's on my stock 2.8 several years ago. Did it along with a new set of valve seals all around.

After a couple hundred miles she "smoothed" out so nice. (Must've knocked out all the carbon from the leaky valve seals). Feels a lot peppier to me. Considered it a poor man's cam upgrade.
