Graham, I was not pointing you for being misleaded but the website (just to make things clear)

What is more they are implying there is more duration wich is a real lie.

They are abusing Mini folks, that's what I am saying !

Advantage, I didn't think you did.

Now after the posts on here and a bit more research I also believe they are mis-leading people on the advert.

Thanks all for the help.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Just bought myself a set of 1,27 rockers assembly (15 euros ...).

I'll get myself a gauge with a magnetic base and measure things up.

At least if there is no difference in real bananas, I'll still be able to cheer me up with an extra 0.15 extra lift or whatever I might end up with ...

I will happily fit offset bushes to those rockers but the reaming to size is worrying me ...

And if I can find the appropriate material maybe it would be cheaper to buy them here ?

Can I add that when I fitted the offset bushes 20 years ago I made a set of broaches to finish them to size, rather than using a reamer.

I might be able to get hold of a reamer at my previous work place.

What I am trying to do is source some bushes from an industrial store to save some money (transport and banking robbery adds sensibly to the bill ...)

By the way, expected gain on a SBU in NA form with standart head and cam ?

I have more and more the feeling that I am about to change those for the beauty of it more than anything else ...

I didn,t think brooches would work anyway Robert, so I just stuck with what I knew.

They are a bit heavy to use in my ear piercings anyway.

I know what you are saying, Advantage, as I spent hours filing and polishing my forged rockers just so that I got a little kick from seeing them whenever I removed the oil filler cap.
