I am thinking of going to the swivel foot rocker arms on my 1.7! I already know ,from a post here a vew days ago ,most of the advantage of that swap. My Ques. is : " Do they really make the valve train noise that much less" ? If that is true i will do it just for that reason! Those who have swivel foot rockers please Ans.

I have them on my 1.8 t4 in my Beetle, AL pushrods, and people have come up to me before and commented that they have never heard such a quiet flat four . . . keep in mind though that I have no idea how well they maintained their cars!
On the engine I just put together for my bus, swivels with steel push rods, ehh, probably not significant. Some day I might make the switch to ALs. |
