Default 1.7's...

Funny you should ask...
I have also been runnning 1.7's...
Pro's...It does give more lift, thus a tad more power
Con's...rocker/guide plate wear is SIGNIFICANTLY increased.
Translation...you will be looking at valve guide overhaul/replacement no later than 50k miles(recommended of course)...
