1.95 Hi ratio rockers

[HoldenMan7]

Hey

This might sound like a stupid question though if i dont ask ill never know.

My mate is looking at getting some 1.95 Hi ratio rockers for his VS V6, though his car has done about 200 000km, and he was wondering if the rockers will put too much strain on other parts of the motor and stuff it up in the long run (motor not last as long) ??

He does give it a bit every so often so yeah motor probably trashed abit as well.

Thanks in advance

should be fine mate, lots of people put that sort of gear on at high k's, i know i put some rockers in at 180k and it was fine. i know of others you have put rockers and a s/c on at over 200k's and the engine is still going strong.

probably the best bang for buck mod, best done with decent headers and exhaust and good cai setup

All the rockers do is open the valves a bit more, they don't really strain any components. It may be a good idea just to replace the rocker bolts, as I have heard of another guy that had a bolt break after putting on high ratio rockers.

oh so u get new bolts etc when you replace them aye, how much would they cost for a VS and a VY ?

Yes the YT rockers come with new bolts & new heavy duty pushrods.

Not an abba fan, i dare say the rockers that guy fitted were FIT rockers as you use your old bolts again which are torque to yield bolts! (hence why the YT rockers come with new bolts).

Holdenman7, it might pay to give Yella Terra a call or post in there section on this forum, they will have a price for you, however all YT VS-VY rockers are the same price!

EDIT: Just found a price, $695 a set + postage.

maybe the vavle springs are the only part that gets extra strain due to the greater lift. should be fine on a stock motor as long as you don't sit it above the red line continuesly. haven't really ever heard of vavle spring failure after fitting high ratio rockers so the motor will live happily for a long time with a much happier driver to boot
