urgent car died after installing rockers

[Hot-Rod]

Had exactly same problem with my rockers when i installed them. The pedestals they came with were hitting against the push rods, preventing push rod moving correctly. After some shaving of the metal, all good now. When u get your new pedestals check them against ur orginals to make sure they are cut back around the push rod holes, as the higgher ratio of the push rods means they are at more of an angle into the pedestals. When you install them again make sure the pushrods have clearance around the pedestals and push rod holes.

good news! steve from mace had a look at my rockers to make sure theres nothing wrong..It turns out that my pedestals arnt the right ones, so that will be keeping my valves open or shut. So i bought some new ones hopefully they come by the weekend and ill give it a go again..Highly recommend MACE there really helpfully good guys to deal with..

Good to hear it's getting sorted out mate...

Though you wouldn't have had these issues if you purchased the YT product, you just get everything you need in the pack...

Nah, MACE are alright... got my bigger TB from they, was having some issues and they were happy to help me out.

Keep to hear how you go this weekend!

I have YT rollers, but if i didn't, the price and service they offer i would get them (Mace). The Mace ones are nearly 2/3 the price of YT ones, and for higher ratios include the pushrods. Back in the day FIT werent including them and changing extra $200+. This made YT a better option at that time who include them on all rockers. Both are good rockers, but Mace seem to be upping the anty with the V6 crowd.
