"Let me simplify it, with this question. Will using 1.65 rockers put more strain on the pushrods, lifters and cam lobes, than using 1.5 rockers ?"
Figure EVERY BBC has had 1.7s(348-409s 1.75) BBF 1.7 + , every LS motor in trucks and cars 1.7+.
Yes it will put some mechanical stress more than a 1.5 but figure all these factory motors had even higher than 1.65s it must not be that bad.
