lifterguy, I'm glad to see you are contributing right away! Next time show a little more class! Instead of registering (AUG 03) and immediately posting ads on threads (I'm sorry it's thread in your case) try posting in the right area. PARTS FOR SALE. Your description does not address FUNFER but is a blind ad towards everyone. I have seen this frowned upon several times on this site.
Shelby Performance? Is that a new div. of Shelby Enterprises or ?? Mike LeFever mentioned he was bringing this in-house - is that what this is? |

Lifterguy, I'm sure their great quality but, at what cost, complete ?

Funfer2,
I broke 3 rocker shafts during open track events. I then bought Precision Pumps, chrome molly shafts and spacers and had no more trouble. Just to be safe, during my rebuild last winter I bought the end stands but having put many hours on the stock stands with the PP shafts and spacers I don’t believe that the stands were absolutely necessary. You can get the rocker shafts and spacers for a few hundred bucks. The thin, stock shaft without end supports are surely a big part of the problem but contributing factors are high valve spring tension and over revving. If you don't have a rev limiter get one and check the valve spring tension. Finally, you don’t want to be breaking the stands cuz it will put pieces of rocker shaft and in my case, lifter pieces through the motor! For a few hundred at minimum to a little over a thousand you can save the thousands of $ that it will cost for a rebuild. A final note, change the oil and check for metal. Check the magnetic drain plug but also cut open the oil filter and check for filings! Cheers, Pete C |
I hear ya Pete, if I had end stands to begin with, this may not have happened but, in my case, when it over heated, the valves stuck, pushrod bent & I think breaking the shaft. If I had stands, would it have broke anuway ? Who knows. I have either a Erson set-up or maybe...a Dove, both complete with stands. I'm waiting for a reply from Cliff on the Doves.
|
Cliff- I e-mailed you this morning about the Doves, just thought I would post here also in case you did not recieve it. It happens sometimes.
Thanks, Kev |
