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.

Steel - set the gap to zero lash, opens up when the engine gets warm due to different expansion rates
AL - set to desired last when cold, stays that way when the engine gets warm due to similar expansion rates AL are probably lighter which is nice if you are turning higher rpms, but are also probably more expensive. Otherwise not much difference. Solid rocker spacers fix the spacing between the rockers, more reliable than the spring which is old, can break, and can induce slop again esp at higher rpms. You will have to clearance the spacers to give enough side play and you will have to clearance your rockers for the swivel feet I don't think you can get the swivels for much less than $9ea, at least not that I have seen. |
