Been offered some 1.3:1 rockers for £30.

Do you think I should buy them? I have no experience with these so no idea if they are a good purchase.

Engine spec will be std metro turbo with phase 2 cam, megajolt and intercooler.

Cheers

Right, just found out that they are from his John Cooper Works car and was fitted from factory.

Still worth £30? What are the standard metro turbo ones?

If it's John Cooper Works they are liable to be 1.5's.

Are the rockers red?

If it was an spi/mpi i'm pretty sure they were rollers.

if it was a late 80's converted 998 perhaps forged.

I have just gone back to the block to find out the engine that they came out of.

Have also asked for some photos but he hasn't got any at the moment.

Will update you.

Just heard from the bloke and i'm confused!

He said that the rockers are from his 95 SPI 1275.

Not sure where the John Cooper Works came into it...
