Hello-
Does anyone have an ETA for the ratio rockers?
Cheers,
Paul

Just got off the phone with Ray and the rockers assemblies WILL be available by the end of next week. I will have 1.25 and 1.4 here then. Also push rod ends and lifter adapters will be available again in a few weeks

Hello-
BTW, is there any reason why I shouldn't purchase the 1.4 rockers? I assume that the 1.25s and 1.4s will cost about the same amount, and will both both require new valve covers. Are the 1.4s less reliable, or harder on the valve train than the 1.25s?
Cheers,
Paul

I think the main thing that will have to be looked at, when you add that to your cam lift is checking on coil bind. On a stock cam and spring you will not have a problem, but if you are using a i.e. 2J Isky cam you might need to run a different valve spring.
I think if my math is right that if you are using the JAG springs you will run into a coil bind problem with the WW cam with the 1.4 ratio rocker, and I think also with the 1.25. (I am no math genius, so please check my work)
I think the ratio will also depend on what your combination you are using will be what rocker you want to use. If you are running too much stroke or dome pistons you might have to eyelash the tops.
