Well boys i'm going to hit you up with the first question.
Wockers to suit a VN V8 5.0, whats the difference/advantage using the adjustables over the non-adjustables in the street terra bolt on's?
Cheers Dave

Hey Dave.
The advantage of adjustables is you can set the pre-load exactly where you want it on hydraulic lifters, even if you have different valve heights.
If you want to run a solid lifters, then adjustable rockers are essential.
Good thing about the VN motor is the valve covers have plenty of height and adjustable rockers will fit underneath without having to change them.
Cheers.
Mark.

Thanks heaps mate. For now I think the non-adjustables will suit me just fine. I am correct in assuming you only do them in the standard ratio? How much am I looking at for a set? Might have to grab a set and do a 'how-to' on fitting them.

So are they only available in the standard ratio? Any chance of making them in a high ratio in the future?
