rocker rollers 1.98

Nervegas · #1 02-09-2008, 08:07 AM

would a set of 1.98 rocker rollers do damage to a 'well worn in' VS engine?
would i be safer going to a set of 1.90/1.95?
as far as mods go I've only fitted a CAI with extractors/exhaust on the way

Broken valve springs, bent pushrods - who knows? It's a bit of a lottery really. 'well worn in' could mean anything. If it has been well maintained then they will be fine. On the other hand you might be in all sorts of trouble on a 100,000km engine that hasn't had an oil change once in it's life. More likely it will just accellerate whatever is first on the list to break in the valve train.

im with reaper, how many kms on tha car? I think the 1.98's come with new pushrods, and id be going for new valve springs too.

and u would need new rocker covers with the raised spacers to clear the rollers or else ull hit the rocker cover....... i fink 1.8's u dont hit but 1.9+ u r sure to hit.... cus 4 my 1.95 rollers i had to change my rocker covers on my vr stato for them to clear

I was under the impression that ALL ratios fit under the standard rocker covers

there was some casting issues on the vy, i think it was only vy. But vs are fine with all ratios under the standard covers
