bmxdave Posted January 14, 2008 Report Posted January 14, 2008 Turns out a rocker arm (no1 exhaust) is worn to hell so im going to change it. Should i just replace the one? Should i replace the whole lot? Or is there heavy duty ones availible that i could use? Do you have a different suggestion?
antz Posted January 14, 2008 Report Posted January 14, 2008 id replace the whole rocker set cos im fussy
bmxdave Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Posted January 14, 2008 Me too. Plus its going to be subject to bursts of 7500rpm so i want to be confident that its not going to let go on me...... again.
bmxdave Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Posted January 14, 2008 roller rockers Where do i get them? In what way are they different? I looked on burtons and rally design but they dont seem to stock them?
andypipe Posted January 14, 2008 Report Posted January 14, 2008 Roller rockers are not always needed. I dont have them and i regulary rev mine to 9k
bmxdave Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Posted January 14, 2008 Ok, i just found them. Is there any cheaper ones then £260? I just dont have that kind of money to spend on them.
bmxdave Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Posted January 14, 2008 Roller rockers are not always needed. I dont have them and i regulary rev mine to 9k What are you using if you dont mind me asking?
BIG G Posted January 14, 2008 Report Posted January 14, 2008 the roller on the end of the pad elliminates wear and you can change the ratios. try flee bay... or speed shack sometimes have stuff like that.
antz Posted January 14, 2008 Report Posted January 14, 2008 im rebuilding my rockers at the moment and ive gone for a nice low mileage rocker setup so theres not much wear. replaced the posts with steel ones and springs with spacers (mines a xflow though. no idea what pinto looks like)
Messenjah Posted January 14, 2008 Report Posted January 14, 2008 dave isnt it a pinto ? do u mean followers ? u can get roller followers for pintos but u dont see them often or is this a different engine ure tlking about
bmxdave Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Posted January 14, 2008 Its the pinto. Im confused as theyre just funny rocker arms to me but theyre called followers. They serve the same perpose afterall only they pivot on one end not the middle. Im going to order them straight after work tommorow, so what should i buy? I cant afford rollers. Looking on Burton now should i buy the Newman ones or the Kent ones?
James HPE Motorsport Posted January 15, 2008 Report Posted January 15, 2008 Just the normal kent ones are fine if you are not running a really wild cam!! You can only run the roller rockers with cams designed to run them!!!
