I currently have pauter rockers on my 2.0 L motor that I acquired. I'm considering going back to stock rockers or doing the 1.7 modification to the swivel foot. What is the benefit of using the 1.7?

The reason for using them is they are needed on Stainless Steel valves, because the stem face is so soft the stock adjuster will mushroom the the valve stem/face.
Even a stockish engine with a carb cam or SS valves should have them. They are not needed on a bone stock engine with factory valves.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) The china swivel feet are junk, so are the ford copy swivel ball (used on T1's) adjusters. Gene Berg used to have good swivel foot copies, but I don't know if they sell them any more. The best are the real 911 adjusters, but new they are not cheap for a set of 8. I don't care for the Paulter rockers, in my book they have very poorly designed oiling. |
