Has anyone got some spare LS7 rockers?

[ringram]

As my luck would have it after just picking my car up from having the clutch replaced something else is now bust.
Made it less than 1 juntion on the motorway and had to pull off with a horrendous clatter up top.
I need to pull off the valve covers to doublecheck but it sounds like a rocker or valve train issue.

So just an exploritory query to see if anyone has any spare LS7 bits? If so please let me know I might need one. Happy to replace with a brand new one, but would like to get the show back on the road asap! Im going to rip into her tomorrow AM.

Maybe you would be safer ditching the high lift, and adding a blower.






Sorry to hear of another problem. Hope you're up and running again soon.

Yeah the LS7 rockers are well known for losing C clips and spilling their needle bearings. We will see if thats the case.
If so there are trunion's that comp makes to fix this exact issue. If so then Ill be looking into that pretty hard! Though a set of crower rollers might also be nice.

I've got some Richard so as long as you replace them you're welcome to have them. In fact I've got whole valvetrains so should be able to help you with a quick fix

Excellent, thanks Mike. I hope to find out whats up in the morning and Im in Notts Friday, so that I might be able to call in to borrow some spares.

You're welcome Richard. Drop me a text, email or leave a message on the am and I'll get back to you.

I saw your post on the RR thread, and guess that the prognosis isn't good.

Would you care to elaborate?

You could try Kinght racing services in Daventry

01327 871177, Peter should have some

Yeah, well the thought was a rocker or collapsed lifter etc... but the "check oil" light put paid to that.
Still hoping it something minor. Diagnosis will be interesting.. Hopefully nothing too bad is munched.
Going to have to get a second cheapo wagon to tide me over for work.

Will post up details and pics as they come to hand Only consolation is that the repair will have to be more grunty than that which bust!

So, if you're very lucky it could be a shell or something that's opened a gallery. Sump off jobby or fit the GM test tool to check what's going on with the pressure. Hopefully you may have stopped in time. Fingers crossed.
