Roller Rocker Users Heads Up

[Sardonicus]

For those that are trying to accommodate roller rockers using spacers with the stock LR covers thought this may help you will have to sort the breather combo http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rover-V8-Rocker-Covers/1...

[OleVix]

I ordered these, same as Phazed. He makes the breather arrangement to your wish


Clinky

[phazed]

Same guy isn't it?



Good covers but they have a flat mating surface.

That hasn't caused a problem and they are completely oil tight.

Certainly a good price also.

i like that plenum

I got these recently........brand new from JE Engineering..........been on their shelf gathing dust for almost 30 years lol



(maybe surplus to my requirements)

what do you gain with roller rockers ?

[Sardonicus]

No shed/sheared rocker pads and happier rocker gear Inc valve guides + easy preload or valve clearance adjustment for us mechanical/solid cam users.

I would not be interested unless roller cams were a reasonable price .. Are solid cams half way between hydrolic lifters and roller cams.

Would the cam last alot longer with a roller cam ? and follow the contour much better .

Yes roller cams last longer , but you try finding someone to do it for the rover v8 ,

[Sardonicus]

Daz don't get roller rockers and roller cams mixed up, my solid cam will fail just like an hyd cam using roller rockers or otherwise.

Are roller cams hydraulic and solid ?

You can have either it's just a roller on the cam follower Daz rather than a flat tappet face

So a hydraulic lifter allows for a bit of movement and a solid cam needs adjusting perfect .

Both just rest on to the cam .

You slightly changed the wording !

[Graham]

What roller rockers are you guys using Im still on solid lifters, stock rangerover rockers and adjustable pushrods in the tuscan race motor !!

I keep thinking roller rockers need to go in at some point, although I have a low 6k revlimit compared to some of the other guys pushing 7.5k as I also use a tvr 5lt crank rods and pistons..

Yella Terra speak to Paul at V8 Tuner and tell him the TVR guys put you onto him one or two on Harland Sharp fine quality stuff
