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 ![]() |

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. ![]() |

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! ![]() |
