Looks nice. Watch those bronze guides though, Minispares phosphor bronze ones tend to close up when fitted and need reaming. Then when run up to temp they can shrink further.
I had to ream mine, twice, with a 9/32" solid reamer. Once when built, then again when a valve started to grab. OK since. Now done 50,000 miles.

Other suppliers may have better bronze guides.. ;)

Hi Doc
Yes they got the reamer treatment as per the instructions that came with the guides
When you do it yourself it gives you a scene of achievement
That's until it craps out on you and you wish you had someone else do it :shock:

You didn't get rid of the horrible bypass system after all that beautiful work :-)

A bypass hose is fine with decent hose. I use Pirtek MPH 08, hydraulic return hose, ,500 psi.
With a brass nipple it should outlast the car. :)

I like to keep things original looking
And my car didn't overheat even in hot weather

When we put these rockers on Jenk's S motor they needed 2mm packing shims under to get adjustment.
This was on a Mk1S head.
Nice rockers though! :)
