Engine Mechanical TopicsDiscussion for motor builds, cams, head work, stripped bolts and other engine related issues. The good and the bad. If it goes round and around or up and down, post it here.
FYI, I'm getting ready to put SE forged rocker arm supports on my twin cam and did a test fit of ARP 12 point SS bolts. The heads are too large to fit down into the recesses in the support.
Food for thought. I've had luck with these. They have a set screw built into the body of the support so you can "lock" the rocker shafts and get ahead of the tick everyone seems to be fighting.
Thanks brownie4412! I looked at those and ended up buying the SE's and putting rocker lockers in them. Putting them on the bike over the holidays. Ride safe!
Going to try Rokr Lokr`s for the usual reason.
The court of opinion seems 50 / 50 on being effective and my Indy friend say`s they never work
Doesn`t matter , It`s winter and I have a heated shop and time to kill
FWIW ( not much)
Finally warm enough to ride w/o a helmet and in my case the "tapping" did not change
