TIII rocker arms

Solids would be nice but add lot more to the cost. New cams will be costly. Research for solid lift cam profile would be $$$.

What's wrong with running the hydraulic cam, we're not talking SBC's here.

you lose lift in the lash adjusters. more so at higher rpms.

[shackwrrr]

So running solids you gain that lost lift, I'm saying you don't need to redesign the camshaft just for solid lash adjusters, you just gain some lift/duration.

Here is a closer installed pic and the rocker tip to valve relationship pic you guys asked for

Sorry for the small pics

Subscribing. Interested to see where these go.

Eric, I like them even more now. Those are cool.

Thanks Bryan,
We'll get you a set when you decide to go TIII. lol

[black86glhs]

I stay 8V because I'm poor....lol.
Or is that cheap?

I may be wrong but I thought the cams were physically different from hydraulic to solid even if they had similiar profiles.
Been many years since I have touched a car that had a cam option.

Maybe you are thinking roller/flat tappet?

If the lifter rode on the cam it might make a difference but with the lifter on the valve it wouldn't matter.

I think solid is where its at for the TIII.

I'll be interested to see how these work insofar as valve tip longevity and rotation of the valve (for seat longevity).

Personally, I'd love to see the same style of interface the the stockers used, but realize that adds cost, and if these will not cause a premature failure, why not keep it simple?

BTW, since these are not "production" cars, that the average buyer can't be bothered with additional maintenance or inspection, our definition of "acceptable wear" will be much different. I doubt we'll complain if it doesn't make it to 80K miles without the need to be rebuilt, etc... Heck I doubt too many of us drive them that far before changing something radically or selling them!

Will those work with the T-III rockers?

[94GTC]

How wide are those TD rockers between the shaft and the valve? Not to be a real pain in the rear, but could you tell me the approximate size of the aluminum used for these l-w-h? Thanks in advance.

Im not sure, They are 8x1.25 thread. I have some 8mm studs laying around and a couple rockers. I need to make a press in insert for the lifter bore, then tap the inside to 8mm. The only issue I see is with how thick the insert might be.

[black86glhs]

Gotcha....would be awesome if they worked.

[shackwrrr]

Gotcha....would be awesome if they worked.

Maybe if I found some in 10 or 12mm thread.

Im going to be useing these if I ever get around to making a set for my car. Stock rocker come every close to hitting the valve cover. I think if these were used on stock rockers they would hit the valve cover. maybe the jam nut could be used on the bottom side of the rocker, and the top of the stud trimed flush with the top of the rocker. A custom valve cover spacer to jack the cover up a little may work too.

Well, for a minimum ten sets, think the price is more than the market will bare. $1820 a set + $1K for the molds. ARG
