New Rocker set - a good idea ?

Post by lindi » Sun Dec 02, 2018 10:31 pm

Hi Folks,

how I already wrote, I commenced the examination of the excessive oil consumption of our TC. By that way I noticed the rockers being worn at their surface towards the valves. New ones would be a solution. The usual suppliers mostly do not have all the rockers needed. One offer is very temptating: a complete set for a very attractive price. I am sure these are made in India where actually they are out of stock (costs would be a fourth buying there) but can this be good quality? Anyone some experience with them? Do the other dealers use other sources?

Best regards
Lindi

It's common practice to have new bushings installed and reamed to fit the (new) rocker shaft, also have the pads resurfaced by a competent machine shop that does engine work. The pads are profiled, not flat!!!! Good to go....
