17 single rocker arms
« on: October 07, 2014, 12:46:45 pm »
Why did they both break at same time?  Did the broken parts jam up and break the outher one? Where do i get roller rockers at?  Don't know the rpms, to scared to look at tach. no way to controll them anyway.  FXS on a very light 38'' wheelbase is crazy fast.

Floating valves, retainers hitting guides, or the center pivot hole bottoming out due to the amount of lift are all reasons the rockers could have broke!!! I could get you a set of roller rockers if interested pm me. Some machine work will be required on the heads though!!!

Doyal, since it's an FXS, get the package deal with the valve cover and rocker arms.  Saves some hassle with the stock valve cover.

How's things down there in TX?

Oh, and when you check the lash on those roller rockers, check it to the side of the roller, not in front of the roller.

Fong ate his mother's head a few months ago during the big Peking Duck revolution.

I can hook you up with rockers and valve cover if your not in a hurry. The guy that makes em for me does this stuff at his work when the machines arent being used. It will be at least another month before he can get started, they have a big job in the shop at the moment. Want to see what they look like go look on my face book page in the pictures. If interested pm me and will give you the price

Let me load up on beer, cheese and bacon to give it the ultimate test. Zach, you're in charge of my lifeline (Ed would just let me die if things went wrong. )

If you want to determine a true champion, throw a 6 pack of burritos on top of that. The microwave kind you get from convenience stores. And an egg salad sandwich. Also from said convenience store. If anythig other than a supernova or black hole can contend with that, you've found a winner.
