    No you can't just put 1.8 rockers in a valvetrain designed for 1.7. Not worth it just stick with the 1.7 and get rockers with the trunion upgrade done or do it yourself and save some money.

    Even if you did you'd have to upgrade your valve springs to handle it so no not a direct bolt on. It can be done but imo it's not worth it.
