rocker cover clearance, 1.5 roller tip rockers
Turbo Mini Forums

will i be able to use my standard rocker cover (one with breather outlet) with 1.5 high lift roller tip rockers? have heared that they can touch but when i put it on it seems fine, i turned engine over by hand and couldn't hear any tapping on the cover? anyone had any issues?
cheers

Some fit i beleve but ithers catch, some of the alloy ones do aswell but theres usually a bit of thickness on them to releve the inside.

Just try it.

It will depend on things like has the head or block face been skimmed...

Stick a bit of plastacine/playdo or similar on the end of the rockers and turn it over by hand - that will show how much clearance you have.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

I have a minispares alloy cover and had to take the sharp corners off the ROCKERS on no.1 and 8 on the pushrod end.

'Where does the engine go?'

I had the same issue as steve1275, I ended up using the original cover and everything was good.

Might give the playdo a go and see what clearance I've actually got.

"se ne estas rompita, ne ripar ĝi - supercharge ĝi."

I removed a load of material from the inside of the cover to clear mine.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

will try a bit of blue tack to see how much clearance, head face has been skimmed flat hope 2 much hasn't been taken off as i want to use the original rocker cover.
