Can anyone give me a lesson on the benefits of a solid rocker spacer as opposed to the stock springs? I saw a set on ebay and I'm confused now.

The theory is that the rockers could move toward each other at elevated rpms and side load the valves or eventually miss the valve head completely due to the fact they are only located by a weak spring. The solid spacers eliminate this potential problem.
Now, how high of an rpm would you have to turn before this could happen or will it actually happen at all....that is the question. For the $25 he charges for them....they certainly add "bling" to an engine as long as you have an audience while adjusting valves or you can gain a personal "woody" just knowing they are there. |
