Wait till you see the heads that we just finished for the LN Engineering 356/616 project engine....
Len boosted the head flow by 25% with NO welding necessary from some new seat and port profiles... We'll be posting pics soon for the 180HP street engine we are building for LN Engineering.. No more 10mm valve stems either! I prefer stock rockers over anything aftermarket.. Losing the "Self oiling" characteristic is a step backward IMHO... I have broken ONE stock rocker and that was just 2 weeks ago and it happened out of the blue on the dyno... Rockers are one of those items the aftermarket can't make money on if they make them better than the factory, and trust me we have looked into and even made some rockers along the way and they have not superceded stock! I have a set of Titanium TIV rockers that one of my FP 914 customers paid 1600 bucks for, they are sitting on the shelf while BOTH of his engines have stock TIV rockers on them and they will remain that way as long as I'm assembling his engines... |
