Dumb roller rocker question

[darky82]

Do roller rockers just sit on the stud and hold up by the push rods and valve-spring or is there a spacer or a taper in the stud they sit on... call me dumb but ive never played with roller rockers before

[immortality]

stud mounted is old school and not really used on Holden unless you go to after market brands (but yes, your basic description is correct). the most common Yella Terra roller rockers are shaft mounted, in which the rocker pivot has a shaft through it which is bolted to the head on a pedestal which is much more solid and stable at high RPM

see Yella Terra - Part details

Your goning to need a few more than one

[darky82]

got a set man, is that all you need no spacer

[ari666]

you will need guide plates to stop your pushrods going sideways.

personally i think those are better than shaft mounts cos they are a TONNE easier to get the adjustment right. bloody shaft mount always flick your allen key out of the hole. frikken annoying.

edit. oh right didnt see the guide plates. nah thats all you need.

Cheers all

[ari666]

you know how to adjust them?

[immortality]

you'll also need hardened push rods.

[darky82]

yeh i got the hardened push rods, yeh i went with hydrolic stuff so i dont have to do it every month....

[ari666]

heh you still need to check em' quite often. unless you locktite the posi locks in. are they procomp? they look like em'. i have a set on my chevy. noisy little buggers.

[darky82]

Yeh they are havent heard a good thing about procomp yet, will use lock tight.

[ari666]

mate. they do the job. i wouldnt trust them on a cam thats going to lift until next century, but for just a baby cam, what could go wrong really?

i mean... a few things.. but lets not think about that

as long as the little needle roller bearings dont come out like they do LOL
