Right at this moment I am thinking about Roller Rockers for mine. Anyone used Scorpion-Brand with 1:6:1 ? Yella Terra? Crane?

I am after full-roller trunnions and roller tip. I have not ever used aluminium rockers, and as long as they can take slightly larger bolts (7/16", rather than 3/8"). I don't want unnecessary flexing ruining the lift.

Has anyone done this? Please feel free to provide any lessons-learned.

Mate, just because I advocate for Walkinshaw doesn't mean I am simple...

I've had modified cars way back into the mid-80's, when I built a stroker 383c.i. small block Chev and M21 conversion for my '71 Statesman DeVille. I also do all my own TiG welding, plasma cutting, fibreglassing etc. That Statesman, incidentally, had twin 1000cfm Predators and a host of bulletproof internals.

I've also built many bikes; 1300cc 4-bangers, 500cc parallel twin 2-strokes, 1100cc V-twins etc. I have a fantastically complete $60k set of tools in two 90" long stainless Rolling tool chests. Odds are, if you can't find a tool to use at mine, then it's so specialist...it's be better to have a qualified guy using it.

Whilst my car still has warranty, it'll go into the hands of a holden/walky-aligned mechanic. After that, I am quite competent at swinging my own tools.

All those credentials and you're worried about warrenty?? Your warrenty aint worth ****. Save a dollar and put those tools to good use buddie!!

Pretty sure monsta runs yella terra roller rockers from memory?? Stock rockers are more than capable once the bearings have been upgraded.

so where did you get that engine cover done as in the future i would like something a bit nicer than the stupid black lump of plastic they threw ontop of the SS LS3!

 

[Tryg]

too.

Did you work out what the 4 pot fronts are roughly worth?

 

[Tryg]

Not yet, not in a rush. I’ll keep an eye on eBay for others selling same.

Looking forward to Thursday!

feels good ey, and massive in person!

 

[Immortality]

They do look impressive.

Out of curiosity, if you have access to a set of verniers it would be interesting to see what the comparative piston sizes are.

 

[Tryg]

yes
