Just a quick question

Hey

in the near future, im looking at doing a cam upgrade on my VP V6, most probably a WADE 992a.

Do you think it would be also worth installing roller rockers/high ratio rockers or not really because of the cam upgrade?

Thanks

VKC

A worthy upgrade at anytime IMO.

the Wade 992a profile has .295" lobe lift, so with stock heads you would be able to run up to 1.75:1 (1.6 standard) ratio rocker which will give you a total of .516" valve lift which is right on the limit of the stock head/valve spring combo

Thanks, So it will be worth it. Will it really really shorten the life of the heads/valve train?

Depends on how it's driven at the end of the day as the cam alone will add additional stresses on the motor. Not a big deal though as it will still last many many k's, unless it's destined to be used in a dedicated track/race car.

Nah, Just a daily driver.

for a daily it would be fine. if your real concerned a valve spring upgrade will fix any lingering doubts.

What i might do it then use the stock rockers for now with the 992a, and then upgrade the rockers, Timing chain and valve springs when i port & polish the heads

Sounds like a plan
