Haven't seen those before,... I think. Design is like original alu ones so they really are heavy, about 3 times compared to stock. Price is not bad at all and if they work for you...

Sorry I don't remember what kind of engine you have? Cam, springs and rpm range?

My engine is a Shrick 336 13.8 to 1 dry sump 50mm throttel bodies it's pretty crazy I rev it over 9000 rpm. I did modifie the rockers to take some weight out of them it was not easy it's like driling a hole in a file they rockwell tested at 62. but these rocker are realy good I have ruined many sets of after market rockers and these have lasted some time and show no sign of failure.

Nice piece of machine work there, I can only imagine the drilling on anything over 60C, patients.

Did you perform anything other procedures other than the polish on the rib, or a trip back to shot peen, or?

Good looking part even before you rubbed on it, now it is transformed into a race part.

Well done.

How was KM to deal with?

Those look like a viable alternative for

high revs... but damn, that would also want some spring pressure!

...too bad the R&D is so steep for a roller rocker...

Thanks, John!

I had a freind drill the holes with a 5 axes cnc machine he used a carbide ball end mill it was realy cool watching him and his machine. He set it up to tap though the case harded drill the center and tap though the back at 12000 rpm. after I used a belt sander to grind the top down these are case harden so once you get though the first .020 it goes fast about 15 min each bare handed so you so you keep it cool with water that way the hardness is not effected.

Kennith from K&M was easy to work with and is know his product well.He also carries a great cam gear that is fully ajustable unlike all the others I have had I can now get the cam timing just were I want it for a change.

Spring preasure I run about 300 over the nose but with stainless valves it may need a little more my valves are titanium.

Sheesh, I have no idea. They look close, don't they?

The valve adjustment mechanism looks like Nissan,

but that doesn't prove much.

As we hashed out earlier, with rollers it's not only the rocker,

then it's the cam design, too- the slider on an M10

defines how the valve moves in response to the cam profile... not hard to

figure out now with computers,

but in the 1950's, that must have taken many people with

green eyeshades many weeks to calculate the acceleration/

decel curves.

And of course, now with a roller, the ramp angles can be steeper...

I'm still looking for that Ford 16 valve head in the junkyard!

This was my experience with those twice and two very expensive camshafts. Let along the oil contamination.

I communicated with Perry at Skidmarc not long ago, and he stated the issue with worn rocker pads had been resolved years ago. If you purchased the Skidmarc rocker arms recently and had issues, that would be valuable info for the FAQ members. But if your experience with the worn pads was in the distant past, disclosing that fact would seem appropriate and fair.

With regard to the steel rockers, the KM Cams units appear to be worthy of consideration; and yet, as far as I can tell, you are the only person who's promoting / recommending them. More testing and real-world feedback, please...

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
