If I can get 3 orders at once, I'll do a group buy since I know this is a pretty high dollar item. R/K and Russ, I'll knock another $25 off the price that I quoted you. If a third wheel wants in, PM me for a price.

Continuing with the mental machinations, what information would I need to give in order to get the right T&D kit for my Edelbrock heads? I know they make a kit for the SOHC heads, which is something I can figure out all by myself. But I know there's something that I'll need to know about my heads which I bet will require me to remove the engine from the car in order to give you and order the proper kit. :LOL:

Knock,
If you told me that you have the Ebrocks, that's enough info. |

I went with Shelby shafts and rockers.adjustment on the rockers is much more accurate than the dove units that they replaced.A bit pricey at $1200 a set but I do not regret my purchase.They also seem to hold there adjustment longer.

Change the oil way to the heads
RodKnock Nobody has said that there is a different oil system to the rockers with Jesel or T&D. I have a setup of EDEL heads and T&D setup. The oiling goes through the pushrods. You will need new pushrods, lifters and maybe a camshaft. You may want to look at the new vary size pushrods that are 5/16" ends and 3/8- 7/16" in the middle. They are stiffer and have less flex when running. Alot depends on camshaft lift, design and valve spring rates.
IMO if you are running a HVHP oil pump with an 80# and have 30-40 psi at idle, H&S will work fine if the clearance between shaft and rocker body is tight. If it is loose, it will work ok at high oil pressures with the motor runningat 2,000 rpms. If you are going to idle it and the pressures down down to the 20's, IMO this is not enough to flood the rockers and cause a wearing condition, Not enough oil to the Erson setup will cause damage too. Blueing of the roller tip and bearings. I know of 2 erson failures. Both from oiling. Limiters too small for the heads. Under .060" with high lift camshafts and idling. The other thing is the machine work for the plates with T&D. You need a good machinist to make sure that the surfaces are flat and level. Rick L. |

Rod, you don't need to buy anything. Your Ersons aren't going to fail unless the builder restricted them up top to a number way below .060 and you run them hard, hard, hard... neither of which is going to happen. Save your money -- if you buy a replacement set of Ersons they're just going to sit on the shelf in your basement.

My Cammer is going to require the T&D's (although different) anyway. :p :rolleyes: |
I run Ersons on my 428...over 7,000 miles on them now with no problems.

He's like a squirrel with a nut
Era Chas I think that Pat needs to recheck the bottles. Green coolant is good for 36 months or 50k miles. The orange coolant is good for 5 years or now 120,000 miles. A test strip will tell you if it is time. Also how hot and hard the motor is run. Me I run the green coolant 5 years and add the booster at 3 years. With new motor and bigger radiator have gone to orange coolant because of the added sealing of the mixture with so much silicone. Going on 4 years and still good for -30f. This is for storage and around the area with short hops. At the track I use water wetter and distilled water. Tracks can fine you and remove you from them if a large spill happens with antifreeze.
