Chris. Can you enlighten me on stronger rockers and if they can be bought and retrofitted to earlier engines? (assuming they are even available?)

Hi Steve,Originally Posted by hollytree
Can you see the difference between the early (left side photo) and the late type (right side photo of my engine). The later rocker is wider in section.
I didn't know this until I read it in 'The Alfa Romeo V6 Engine High-Performance Manual' book.
'No idea on availability new. I'd be surprised.

Chris.
Thanks. I have that book somewhere, though I dont think I ever read (absorbed there was a difference) and I can't remember what my rockers look like from when I retorqued the head bolts (no photos - Doh!)

The super value for money price I could fudge past the War Dept... but it would have to live in the kitchen, wish I had the room Chris, I would bite your hand off.
I can put your name on it Tim, and it can stay where it is, and you don't need to pay yet.
'Slower than your 24v 2.5 though?
Does not need drive shaft adapters for Beta shafts, at least.

Very kind of you Chris, but do not wait for me! someone needs to snap it up, or stick it ebay for double, it's worth it, our boiler has just gone bang & I am taking the Hawk to Italy in Sept, so I am being cautious! Slower than a 24v would be no bad thing, I must be the odd one out wanting less BHP
