So is the guy from repco full of it?

[JoffLane]

Okay I went down to my local Repco on the weekend to get a price on some roller rockers for they VU. The guy down there told me that they only sell the 1.8 and wont sell anything higher because it's too dangerous. Is this the way with all repcos or was this guy just a nard? Also would I be better off buying directly from YT?

[cxcxcxvcvcvc]

im pretty sure you can get 1:9 ratio! and depending on price its up to you where you want to buy them from! just make sure you get your push rods with your rockers!

[Wagon_Wheel]

He's prob full of crap, i work at repco, and if YT sells something... we can get it in.
I just got my mate a smaller pulley for his blower from YT.
Get a part number from YT, and give it to the dude at repco and say order this **** bag.
May be cheaper going through YT themselves i couldnt tell you

[Cobez]

All guys from Repco are full of **** bwahahaha

YT go to 1.95:1 roller rockers. Go direct. Pushrods come with them

[GOTMYN]

I went Direct and picked mine up for $600 over the counter.....

$600 = 1.95:1 ROLLER ROCKERS, plus saddles, Unbrako Bolts amd Pushrods...

They come in a nice box and include detailed instructions and a couple of stickers if that's your thing........

[JoffLane]

Thanks for the quick response guys. I was certain he was talking out of his ass.

[vxcalais_01]

I cant understand why it would be dangerous ? Fair enough with wrong pushrods it hit casting etc.

[TappetHead]

Use 1.9 or 1.95 for standard camshaft, valve springs and standard tune (Max RPM 5600)

Use 1.9 for standard camshaft, aftermarket valve springs if tuned (higher RPM)

Use 1.8 for standard camshaft and standard valve springs if tuned (higher RPM)

Use 1.7 or 1.6 for aftermarket camshaft, valve springs, and tuned.

FYI.
The standard rev limit is 5600 RPM. This can be increased with Kalmaker tune up to 6400.
Ratios higher than 1.84 will valve bounce at 5900 on standard springs.
The retainers will hit the valve stem seal at .520" lift. Aftermarket cams combined with high ratio rockers often exceed that.

Cheers.
Mark.

Tappethead, have YT come out with a Heads and CAM to work in conjunction with the higher ratio rockers ? ......Quick question, do YT sell their own performance leads ? Thanks

[immortality]

IFair enough with wrong pushrods it hit casting etc.

thats a FIT problem becasue they use remanufactured rockers (welded), and FIT is a dirty word on this forum

[TappetHead]

We looked at doing our own leads and had a number of samples made but never went ahead with the project.
The only cam we keep in stock is to siut the supercharged engine, not N/A.
No heads available as yet.

That's 3 strikes....... I'm out.

Cheers

Thanks for the info Tappethead.

[Jesterarts]

Higher than 1.8 dangerous...lol... thats funny... does the dude at repco even know what rockers do?? where they go?? ANY basic knowledge about them?

I got mine form YT direct, the blokes there answered all my questions and where a missive help all round!

[The_Fat_Man]

im looking at gettin a set of rockers for my ve ute.. its a stock omega and i want to know what ratio i should be looking at. price doesnt come into it i just want something that will work without alot of off road time as its my only car.

[TappetHead]

I'm thinking the Omega's are all V6's, correct me if I'm wrong.

If I'm right then, sorry we don't have any rockers for the Alloytec engine as yet.

If it's a V8 then 1.8 or 1.85 can be used with the standard camshaft to get a bit more grunt, you'll also need a pair of our extra thick v/cover gaskets to get the clearance.

Cheers.

[The_Fat_Man]

yea im pretty sure they are.. anyway mine is the 3.6l v6. thanks for the quick reply and when you do have rockers for the alloytec can yyou please let me know via pm so i can get on to it... cheers

[Jesterarts]

ummmm... i thought the VE 3.6 was a DOHC?? So no rockers... same as the VZ alloytecs

[EvoVIIIJDM]

We have a wiener.

[TappetHead]

They still have rockers, just not pushrods.

So a guy from repco just quoted me $1200 for a set of Yella Terra 1.95:1 roller rockers for my VX. Is this guy on drugs or something?

[chargedvx6]

That's hard drugs right there

maybe he thinks you need x2 sets lol who knows

couple years ago i bought rr's for my acclaim, they r a trick bit of gear everything comes with it, easy to diy install.

[mina_783]

yeah im definately goin to get some. Got quoted $725 from Sprint Auto Parts, that sounds about right i think. Yella Terra are out of stock though so i gonna have to wait a couple of weeks

[SLICKHOLDEN]

My repco store quoted me $820 for YT 1.95.. Rang another guy $680. It's not like there building them, It's greed. The $680 i thought was pretty decent.
