3/8" versus 7/16" stud?
I recently bought a set of 1.6 roller rockers & found out (the hard way) I had 7/16" studs instead of 3/8". The roller rockers (3/8" type) looked so small next to my 7/16" type. So my question is what is the differance? Do I have a better set up since I have 7/16" studs? :confused:

Indeed 7/16" is better, especially if you are going to higher RPM. Less flex means more consistent and higher valve lift.
Hopefully you can return the current RRs in exchange for ones for those studs.
