Apparently Australia Post have my roller rockers on the way.

I took the ute out to coffee and cars at mclaren vale Sunday morning. Then Raff tested positive and I’m isolating at least until next Sunday.

Give him a month to enjoy the rollies, then I'll subtly steer him this way :mrgreen: :

No Glen my cam doesn't warrant them. Prolly doesn't warrant the roller rockers either. I just got sick of breaking the pressed ones.

Harv I'm not spending another cent on the motor, touch wood. I've being eyeing off the rear axle which was always intended to go behind a trimatic in the van. After I change the gearbox over I might have to think about a BW 78 or whatever for the ute.

I don’t think so Neil. Bolt in swap I believe. I have to get under the car to undo the bolt holding the walking stick end to the block, which is putting me off doing the job, but seeing I have run out of gas I may get the motivation soon.

That’s not too bad Clay .. I usually set them 4 degrees down as the pinion walks up hill under load... try the TREMEC app it’s free and really good
