Happy Friday!

9am here in Boston with 16 degrees outside (feels like 6). Sure it's worse elsewhere.

Anyway, anyone with experience popping 1.7 rockers on 1.8 heads? Moved up to 1.8 heads. The 1.7 rocker look like they fit and center.

Yes they work. Its a common move if you are planning to move toward elephant foot adjusters.

10mm swivel foot German adjusters are available. Why not use the 10mm vs 8 mm?

You can use 911 adjusters with the 8mm arms. For many years, those were far better quality than any of the aftermarket adjusters. The aftermarket ones were prone to falling apart and chewing up the valve tips. That may have changed now; I don't know.
