What advantage do these provide over the stock rocker assembly? These look trick, but also look expensive. Worth it?(IMG:http://www.pauter.com/VW%20Parts_files/t1rockr2.jpg)

They are not that light.... a lightened stocker is the same weight..
The higher ratio is what makes them not compatible with many cams, they accelerate the valveopening and closing more harshly... The worst applications I have seen with them are full race engines... Those roller tips wear out and snapoff unless you pull the pins and re do them... The higher ratio creates more wear on the cam and lifters, as it raises valve lift and increases friction and tension against the cam... Stay stock, the only engines I have seen benefit from them are in busses, as the ramp rates actually compliment them and they need extra lift and flow off the seat.... These rockers are the fastest way to make the guides hurt.... ask Charles from LN about seized valves when using them. He knows first hand! |
