 |
|
Hey Samba!
I have a new set of the CB 1:1.25 rockers (have the kit - http://cbperformance.com/catalog.asp?ProductID=92). Right now stock arms are in.
Question is -
Will these bolt right in? Trying to get an answer from CB but no help. I'm willing to try but what should I watch for?
Any idea if you HAVE to machine for these or theres a chance to fit?
Also, do they impact the pushrod length and would need to change?
Unfortunetly, dont know what kind of heads are on the motor but they are ported.
Cam is a 100
Cylinders are 88.5 or 90s.
As always, Any help would be appreciated!

Check you rocker arm geometry and make the changes needed whether it be shimming the rockers or longer pushrods. The should fit without any kind of machining being needed.

I've run 1.25's with the Engle 100 camshaft and you only need to shim the rocker stands slightly, and you can still use the stock 11" pushrods.

My go to answer from here on out is righty tighty lefty loosey and see what happens.
The aircooled VW ratio rocker is what a cam swap is to V8 guys.
