trying something new for soild rockers

[paduster]

So was talking to a mechanic at work and he is a machinist. And we came up with a plan to machine a slug to be a press fit into the stock rocker then have a hole drilled and threaded though the center of the slug and the top of the rocker for the adjuster screw to come though the top. Now i am going to the local pick a part to pull some valve covers to find the right length adjusters screws. We are going to try and make 2. I figure since they are the same rocker arms that I should be able to get away with trying just 2 to see how they wear and if there is going to be problems. What u guys think.

That is exactly what I'm working on

3.0 valvetrain upgrade possibilities

Well fro what the machinist says everything with these are metric the bore is a 13 mm hole and for the metal we are using a stronger alluminum than the rocker is made of. Will update with pics as soon as I got something

I posted in my Holset thread that I was going to do this since my coworker still owns all his machines from his shut down machine shop. Was not too excited about getting it done super quick since I am backburning "majority fun" projects.

Not sure if there will be longer threaded adjusters out there but I would be glad to see it.
