For applications below 5500 rpm (most), you are fine with stock
springs/keepers.
Power on 1.7s with stock cam comes on at 3000 rpm, and tappers off at
4600 rpm. The problem with people bending valves, and other problems
were due to improper installation. I have put 28k miles on my set,
with daily shifts to 5300 rpm (PCM)... Sold dozens of sets.
Call me for lowest prices.

Subject: DML: Stainless Steel Roller Rocker Question
I'm running the Mopar 1.6 aluminum RRs and was thinking
about replacing them with the 1.7 stainless RRs. Do I need to
change the spring keepers to keep the *stock* valvetrain safe?
Seems I remember a few nightmares with bent valves some DML'ers
were having with the 1.7s a few years ago.....
Thanks!
