Which Roller Rocker?

rwhite65 · 03-28-2007, 03:34 PM

I need to swap my 1.7 Roller rockers to a 1.6. Does anyone have any brands they were unhappy with? Any recommended ones? Mine are trick flow and I am trying to decide if it is worth spending the money for another set.

I didn't like the energizer ones from Crane, however, their Gold race set is really nice and durable.

i've had the fms pedastal 1.6's and also now have the harland sharp 1.6 for the stud mount. the fms were pretty nice and they worked great on my e7's. the harland sharps are holding up nicely too.

These are the ones I was considering. What do you not like about them?

They came apart after 3k miles and Crane said that was normal and it was time to replace. They do not have a very long life span. Just curious, why are you going down to 1.6's?

Honestly? Cause with the new heads I wasn't sure the 1.7's would clear, but I know the 1.6's will. That and I figured the 1.6's would be a little less strain on the valvetrain. I may just put the heads on and check for clearance with these now, cause I am kinda having second thoughts on spending the money now.

The heads going on it are Windsor Sr's with 2.02 intake valves

Those are big intake valves, what are the exhaust side?
