Rebuilding the motor for my '74 Creamsicle. (Overheated it at the track, threw a rod bearing, yes, very stupid.)
My rocker arms shafts are all still within factory spec but the I.D.'s on the rocker arms are past spec, but still within the factory wear limit. I could reuse them but would prefer to get replacements. But I'm having trouble finding a source for any new or refurbished ones. This will remain a street car motor so didn't feel the need to go to fancy billet rollers like Pauter. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Andrew B. |

it would be best if you found some 1.7 rockers to modify and cut the pushrods to set the valve train geometry What is the advantage of the 1.7 rockers? Are they a different rocker ratio?Arguably overkill for a street driven car but Im of the opinion any bolt on valve train improvements that can be made should be made. |
