Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 9:51 am
Hi all,
I recenty bought a box(s) of bits which having had a reliner and loads of other work done to it I am putting back together.
Prob I have is the rocker shafts and arms, which being an ex race engine are show wear when you pull the springs away and look at the shafts.
I have beeen warned off by several peeps to aviod the pattern bit out there mostly china and they are not good, JED is having probs getting stock, and LR want a stunning £270+Vat per side for new genuine
At the moment this engine doe use std genuine, so, rather than spend a fortune on the LR stuff, what other qulaity units could I consider and from where ?
It also has std followers and std pushrods, I really don't want to get into adjustable pushrods etc, it went like stick on all std drive train since built in 2004, so I am happy if only they weren't £500 a pair
Very graetful for any ideas ? and or links ?
