Maybe I should shut my mouth cause I'm new to working on honda's but I personally haven't seen a overhead cam engine that has rocker arms.

What's there to rock? The cam is above the valves eliminates the need for lifters, pushrods and rocker arms.

Cam to bucket to valve.

IF you had a pushrod engine, a higher ratio rocker arm would in fact increase your valve duration, just like a higher duration cam.

In my "other" ride, going from 1.5 to 1.6 ratio rockers is one of the popular tricks to add HP/TQ without doing much work or spending much.
Pushrod engines are so easy to work on, especially when the valvetrain is all roller.
