Well I decided not to get the head milled right now. Im goin to need this for gas milage soon. But.the head isnt goin to be left alone
I did some research about lifters and rockers

Im going to be using 2.7l OEM Rockers with 2.4l Pt cruiser last adjusters.

Why? OILING
the 2.7l rockers point the oil port to the cam instead of directly from the bottom. the 2.4l lash adjusters do a better job at keeping bleeding down and act better if i were to upgrade my cams..now all i need is to come across an extra $60

for the neon. Im the tensioner is a hydraulic tensioner as where there 2.4 one is stock with a mechanical. If i were to run bigger cams, it would be less likley to jump timing,
