1.6 Roller Rockers (Narrowbody)

I'm wondering if anyone got some narrow body 1.6 roller rockers for sale (preferably full roller) or you have a 2.2 and would like to go halfies on a set with me?

To get a set of V8 rockers would do two separate 2.2's and would only cost from $75 to $150 for some of the best street rockers on the market.

I'm looking for efficiency with my engine, just having a car saves me a ton on fuel compared to all the trucks I have, so I want a happy, smooth engine.

I hate to say it but if you want a happy smooth engine don't modify it... Once you start doing that you almost always open a can of worms.

Everything I have gets modified in some way, nothing stays the same.

I guess I should say I want more power, but with reduced valvetrain friction. The 2.2L is fine for town/city driving but I wouldn't trust it to climb through the Laurentian mountains in Quebec without struggling and getting hot. They are not huge or anything but you go up and down and up and down and up and down and it is hard when you're low on HP.

If I could get it close to the 120HP crank figure, at the wheels, then I'd be very happy.
