Not much difference for a road car, but I figure for $100 more you I might as well since it's already $340 right?

Hey Dave, Skip the full roller rockers and get the roller tip. The reason for this is that a bushed rocker has more contact area than a roller rocker does, which has all of the forces pushed against a couple or needles inside the roller bearing (no good). Have you considered these instead? I am considering the LD rockers... http://www.med-engineering.co.uk/catalo ... rocker-set LD Version: http://www.med-engineering.co.uk/catalo ... ld-rockers I'd skip the oil cooler, no need for one. Have never run one in my car, unless you plan to race and are monitoring oil temps and the situation calls for one. |

I believe my car still has a delivery number on the front windscreen, chrome roof racks and a sun visor |
