Hi..

I build some performance rocker shaft. Inc Roller rockers and spacer springs are replaced with steel tube´s..

Pick.



But i just wonder can i leave the rockes shaft end spring away? I want to fit slightly thicker end washer.. Idea is same as with those steel tubes. (also slightly less fricktion.)
And I wonder also that can i fit linchpin (tube) with those rocker shaft to replace original split pin?

Dont know about the spring, but if you are fitting roller rockers and will be running hi revs, have you considered fitting the shaft end supports? I noticed you are using standard pedestals that's all, and for the sake of £80 JE Engineering sell very nice end supports, I think DJE do them as well (but I wouldn't recommend him )

Thanks for tip chodjinn..

I receive shaft end supports last week, and i have to machine them about 5mm, cause roller rocker dosent fit them. Because shaft bore in pillars and rockers are not at the same line.. (std rocker bore is) So i went them to my local machine shop and they do the job.. and they took another 50£ more.. But now they will fit + i hope they will perform slightly better than std unit..
