My engine is coming along nicely and will be running a bespoke mechanical cam. I have the matching solid lifters and springs etc but need a set of adjustable pushrods for the running in and tune and test period. The aim is to sort out an upgrade to roller rocker gear at a later stage.

Has anyone moved to roller rockers and have a set of adjustable pushrods sat on the shelf? PM me with a price if you have cheers smile

Hi Dave
no mails in my box on the v8 forum?
Ive give you alternative addresses on there.

Mike was hoping to have my engine ready to pick up today but as of yesterday the cam kit still hadnt arrived!
I am setting off at 11:30 from Portsmouth so if he doesnt call then i am going straight home.... engineless again frown

If you are sending him some pushrods then thankyou. I can wait another fortnight and have the rocker gear all in and the preloads set ready.
I owe you a few beers at least already cooldrink

Thanks to advice from Rob the man.
Kent are grinding my cam with 2 of their profiles from different spec cams.
Inlet is 285 degree and exhaust 310 with a 112 LSA.
