Hey All.

For my personal education I am building that 600cc Franken engine from ground up (first time crank and camshaft install into an otherwise empty case). I have been unlucky with rockerarms I bought. They look like mice had been nibbling on them. Does anybody have any good ones, original /5 for a reasonable fee? No need for sets I take leftovers!

Thanks, Stephen

Hi Stephen, I'm pretty sure you can upgrade out of those bushings and into the needles of /6 and 7 with no complications.
I just upgraded my 74 rocker/shaft assemblys and push rods to the later /7 design. Very pleased.

I guess R65's wouldn't work? (I only have two)

Rob, 's too late now but I'll look into my ETC tomorrow and do a "where used" maybe they'll work!

I know ... what was wrong with your '74 assemblies ? I am sure I can get 20 more years out of them!

I have a couple of /5 rockers somewhere, if I can find them this weekend you can have them.

They were noisy, but you are welcome to them. After that go-round sending the Omega amp back to you, is it worth the Canadian Customs grief?

Absolutely, no problem if you put customs and insurrance value on the green form to $5. Can you let me know what postage to Ontario N1S3V7 is, I can pay at least for that!

I'll take them, just to have the option. PM me for details once you found them.

Thanks in advance, Stephen

OK, maybe PM me with your address.
You will need to buy one needle bearing, because I lost a couple of needles out of it.... I know... I know ...
Unless you have one to rob.
