Topic: TECUMSEH PERFORMANCE PARTS INTEREST

[George Herrin]

 There is more n More tecumsehs being run these days and I am working with a guy thats in the process of making some rockers and billet valve covers for the twins. The valve covers will be a direct bolt on part that will fit not only the twins but the singles. The rockers will be shaft mounted with roller tips we are working to have them fit both types of heads the tvt and the later ones. And if we work it right may even fit the singles with little head work. IS THERE any interest in us making these. If enough interest after prototype testing to ensure the quality we will offer them for sell.
This is not a sale add this is simply checking on the interest of these parts.

Please keep your snide remarks and off subject comments on another thread. SERIOUS REPLIES ONLY OR PM ME IF YOU LIKE.

George, I am definately interested.  I have several of the later 691 twins and am always interested in new products for these great engines.

I cleaned up this topic, this is not a rules debate thread, it is a parts thread.

 I did not get to see toms reply but it's ok let whine. And
for that matter tom doesnt even have a dog in it. And to top it off I am using them on a super modified. Point is they are being made.  All I did was ask if anyone was interested. No where did I ask anyone's opinion on legalities.

George needed help getting pics up.....







Here are the Tecumseh roller rockers they are based off the newer heads but made to fit the older tvt heads with the 5/16 stem also. these are the first proto types. IF you have the newer heads and do not want to use the billet pedestal it looks like the rockers and shaft will run 300.00 if you want the billet pedestal or dont have the stock pedestal that will run another 100.00. Again these are the proto types and I need to get some run time on them. Will keep those interested posted.

looks good what ratio are they and will they fit under the factory valve cover?

[George Herrin]

stock ratio 1.1 to 1 And they will fit but not sure if a spacer will be needed will try to get them installed this weekend.

[George Herrin]

Thanks Marc for the help. still not sure why they would not upload to my photo bucket. Its definately not ipod friendly.

Full rollers (Trunion) or tip only?

[George Herrin]

no tip only i have had horrible luck with the full ones i have had

[Burwell555]

G when you say set is that enough for the motor or per hole??

[George Herrin]

a set is double what you see in the piuctures a set is 4 rockers. enough for a twin engine. I will also see what it will take to use on singles and they can be sold for just a single also. These are not for sale as of yet. When I get run time on them and we are sure they are good I will post them for sale in the Sale section.

Ok I was just being curious. Any word on the valve covers as of yet??
