Hey Ray
Hey Ray does this look familiar. It sure looks familiar to me. We did a bunch of work on the truck over the last few days - replaced starter - My wife said "what's that ticking noise"? I told her the valves need adjusting. I open the top end and l found a rocker arm that was loose - too loose. I found that the lower loop had broken off the rocker assembly - like something I've seen from the past.
I called Gage Motor Sports to see if parts were available. Nope nada - don't make that version anymore. But I got a great deal on a set of Black Venom 1.3 to 1 rockers with needle bearings instead of brass bushings. They discontinued the earlier version be cause of them breaking. |

Re: Hey Ray
Reminds me of the original NR shaft unit failure you suffered. You are the master of rocker arm testing. I recently checked the lash on mine and everything just so. How many hours are on the Gages ? I have a little over 200 hours on the Shepard inspired NRs

Re: Hey Ray
57 hours total sense installing a hour meter. About 100 sense installing the 460. When I talked with Max I just wanted to buy a replacement rocker arm. He needed pictures and told me they stopped making that version about 3 years ago cause they were having a lot of breakage. I got a deal on the Black Venom rockers and he sent a special over length stud for my Aussie Speed valve cover.

Re: Hey Ray
Those are the top of the line so hopefully you will have no more rocker issues.
