Crower Stage II +Valve Train DIY??? - Honda Prelude Forum

On Crowers site they wrote:
"The Crower spring/retainer kit 84167 features a +.060" installed height retainer to allow more spring travel. This added installed height may interfere with the bottom of the rocker arms. If that occurs, you must machine the underside of the rocker arms for proper travel."

Now I'd like to do this to be a DIY affair, but do I need to take it to a speed shop to do the install? I don't think I have the proper tools to create clearance if need be. Has anyone run into this problem, btw what type of tool would you need?

One Slow Lude,
I have asked this question at hondata tech and you definatly have to machine the rockers. I'm taking mine to a local machine shop to get it done. I still plan to do the install myself for the experience.

I've heard it's a toss up. Some people have the issue, some people don't. It's a matter of which side of the range your engine is in. Personally I'd get the steel ones from Crower anyway so you don't have to worry about checking the Ti retainers so often.
