Same rocker studs Clay?

[Errol62]

Yes Brett, standard 3/8” press in, standard 1.5 ratio, standard pushrods. It’s a mild duration 214* with 0.429” lift, similar to X2 spec. Springs to suit.

They weren’t easy to come by but Wyse Industries came through. They cost me more than the cam, which I got via gumtree. Crow stainless which are half the price of yella terra.

and right on cue after being a big mouth i drove to Sydney AGAIN and in about the last 100ks it's developed a vibration at high speed and not all the time mostly above 100kmh and gets worse it's really bad up round 140-150, getting new rear screen and dual circuit brakes tomorrow so while it's on the hoist will be checking unis etc

2 new unis and all good, though i wish i could get rid of the steering shake between 100 and 120

Some insight in to why rockers failed maybe?

That will do it Clay they look like they have had a hard life mate

Yeah Neil 8 )

Battery got enough to start it so warmed up and set the rollies by ear + 1 turn. Some hassle getting the cover back on with the bigger hardware. The vacuum and fuel lines are close. I’m glad I spaced the thermostat housing out.
Snuk out under the radar down the back. Up to 60 on the Speedo a couple of times in second gear. 120kmh which I think is near enough 4900rpm. I’m impressed how smooth it is up there. First time I’ve really been able to appreciate the dough I threw at getting every thing balanced. Never had a sweeter reving six!
