Strength... no more "Half Rockers"..



Then I'm seeing smooth action so less pressure to actuate rocker, which can then be applied to keeping valve from floating = higher rpm potential...

Still have weak link of the casting lugs, but there is a way to reinforce them... Maybe pics after this weekend...

And that is why I asked your opinion of them.

Folks, that was totally unsolicited.

They mount on their own pedestal mount which sets on top of the original cast pedestals and are supplied with their own studs.

You can run it either way!!! I don't like em they tend to touch occaisionally ever seen the wear marks on tha stocker aluminum push rod. Well rubbing is friction and to me that is drag I don't want. BUT some folks swear by em. BUT you can do it wither way personal prefferance. BUT YOU MUST run the lash caps.

Hi Squidd,
Had a question for you. Where did you find your larger 3/4" sprocket for the output on your RAGB? I've found plenty of 10-20 tooth units, but I've spent hours trying to find anything larger than 20 tooth with a 3/4" bore. thanks in advance.
