Here's a picture of a rocker that we did for a 356.

And BTW. Our 356's rev 8000.

And I wasn't going to mention the needle bearing trick. I didn't know anyone else knew that. Oh well. Run your breather to the exhaust while you're at it.

don't worry too much about your "tricks", 'cause I highly doubt you or your engine builder has many that everyone else knows about or has tried already (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

needle bearings have been used in that application years before you even got your drivers license (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
