Thread: Have Now Built 1.5 and 1.6 Ratio Roller Rocker Arm Assemblys for Buick Straight 8's!

  1. #11

    arms

    What is the cost of this setup? serious question! Could you also build a vacuum formed clear valve cover so I can fully enjoy this view on top of my engine? kidding!

    ratio'd rockers

    Hi 36 Century!
    This all interests me, and i may be interested but i need more info. First; what
    is the stock ratio? I understand what you are saying with regard to what you are making,
    but i have also milled .125" off my head. I'm waiting on the machine shop to finish up the valves
    And I'm already concerned with what changes that might have made to the lift of my stock cam,
    and if i have effected the stock ratio with the extent of milling. What do you advise?
    And please, if anyone else has done similar head mod.'s feel free to weigh in.

    Selling one assembly on ebay starting at 399

    Hi All,
    Im now selling my 320 assembly from Blake on ebay. Starting price is 399 USD.
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/252032001774
    It was a bit to much racing for me and Im now going back to stock. I think it will be at much better use by someone else.
    I still think its a good kit and Bryan has provided good support. Thank you Bryan.
    If you want full support and warranty then buy directly from blake/bryan. If you want it a bit cheaper buy mine.

    Regards
    Stefan

    Stefan,
    You have sold the kit ?
    Yours was the 1.5 or the 1.6 ratio kit ?
    What was the different in your engine, rougher idle, stressy midrange louder exhaust noise ?
    Im interested in your experienses....😉

    Yes, I sold it back to Bryan. Thanks again Bryan for awesome support, if anyone got any doubts on his dont think again on it .
    I had the 1.6 ratios but I did a complete rebuild at the same time as a put it on including putting in a cam with more lift.
    It is running a bit more rough and pulls better after the rebuild but I did not see any change going back to stock. With a stock cam you will probably notice it.
    Regards
    Stefan
