where sells a set of these?

thanks

 

Nowhere.

(although I hear that Karl has something in the pipeline - not sure how true tho).

 

i knew i should of bought that set tillio was selling

 

Glad i got some lol they work fine

 

Yeah, Tillio's ya bastid.

 

 

I heard they were faulty anyway.

 

Rare are rocking horse shit!!!

I'd love a set for my car!!!

 

After inspecting them i can understand why they stopped making them as i recon there was alot of work in them and people wouldnt pay the price,maybe some around soon who knows,what would the price be for people to be interested in them folks?

 

Karl must have some lined up as they are mentioned in the spec list of a car he's building, it's on his web site.

What exactly is the difference and the benefit of a roller rocker?

 

Fook knows! Ł300? Ł400?

 

I know where theres a set I believe soon to be around soon also.

As for a price.. ... ... what are you gonna pay for somet thats not in ready prouduction, isn't available and never really was anyway etc etc.....

I believe from my sources that if you find a Lepricorn holding a bag of gold dust standing in some rocking horse poo at the end of the rainbow near some hens teeth... you'll probably find some there.

To be honest- the best place to find em is on old CVH race engine- good luck.

I know someone who purchased a whole car JUST for these rockers

 

What exactly is the difference and the benefit/advantage of a roller rocker?

 

I have to say that you NMS boys sound like are really bigging them up pricewise ready for Karl!!!

Remember, people will only pay so much. Not only that, if they are too expensive, someone will only rip them off and the original person will find it hard to chop their price, for fear of upsetting those that had already bought. If that makes sense.

 

Thing is Christian- I aint talking about Karl.. LOL..

 

I hate to repeat myself again, but ever since I read Karl's site I want to know what they are, so:

Also, I just had a look on Karls site and the roller rocker isn't listed on there now!?

 

Nevermind, just had a little look around the net and read about them, one site claimed a 24.1bhp increase in power!

 

my old track car, the orange escort with a 1.6 cvh in it had them fitted

 

burtons make them for other cars ect... why not CVH?

 

Because its an old shit engine- obviously its not BUT it isn't used in many race type cars where as things like pinto's are.

 

You could more than likely get custom one's made up if you wanted them that bad.

 

Is there really that much call for CVH roller rockers? Assuming that they are nothing too odd design wise they should be reasonably easy to machine.

Last year we made thousands of roller rockers for Chevy LT1's. They were billet Aluminum and looked similar to these:



The company who we supplied had them anodized; we had no dealings with the end user.

Bearing in mind the final price of them would be dictated by the demand for CVH ones ..... Something might be possible. The main initial cost on these would be the CAD work required, after that it's mainly just machine time.

Development time may also be slow (again depending on demand) as this might have to be the sort of thing that’s done in free time, not work time and I get next to no free time. Several people have asked for billet fuel rails and I still haven’t had the time to sort out the CAD work for them yet

 

I've held one!! Who wants to kiss my hand??

And to answer your query Christian, it was at Karls Laboratory

 

PMSL

 

Yes mate, there is call. I'm after a set desperatly. The CVH is one of the best 8v engines there is, but suffers from a shit valve train. It's heavy, and the high spring pressures make things wear quickly. Rollers would solve a LOT of problems.

 

try newmans cams they might be of help. They do the solid lifter and cam setup maybe worth a try

 

hmmm... sounds good

 

There is call for at least 1 set here!! Me!!!

I want!!!

 

you do all realise you can by them brand new from several places in the usa?! they were fitted as standard to some american CVH engines and you can buy replacements for something like $200 a set. in real money thats just over a hunderd quid.

sorry to piss on someones bonfire who was gonna make a silly profit but thought itd let you all know....

High performance roller rocker assem. Ł240.00

 

might have to look into that then

 

Bet they not available anymore!

Off to work, someone call them and find out!

 

I've just called TDi.

They dont do them any more and haven't done for years!!

I would imagine they were just selling the Burton ones.

 

 

oh well, it was worth a try

 

 

did anyone actually read that?! pmsl

 

Yes, I read it but after a quick google search, I still can't find any.

 

i might have the link im my favorites or something, ill have a look
