zebedee Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Drop the sump and have a look at the rods would be easy to tell then. Dave did used to sell those rockers as a seperate item but there was very few sold and those that were usually went on the full forged engine builds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
