Yella Terra users Come In.... RE: Valve Float
I am thinking that I have an issue with valve float due to my dyno graph, XE-R lobes, and what not. I am looking to upgrade my rocker arms but hear a lot of people say that aftermarket rocker arms weigh more than stock, and will thus cause valve float rather than get rid of it. Does anyone who uses Yella Terras have valve float? Thanks!
Here is what I am planning to eliminate valve float:
- Thunder Racing hardened pushrods (already installed)
- Yella Terra roller rocker arms
- Titanium retainers
- Patriot 'Gold' dual valve springs

Just went to your site and I must say that dual cutout y-pipe looks sweet! I bet that's loud as all hell when open.

Put the stock rockers back on. I had Comp Pro Mags, had valve float at 5300 rpm as well, and they were professionally adjusted. No need for aftermarket rockers, I turn 7000 rpm all the time with my stockers and have never had a problem.

well, i do have a set of yella terra's and i do have a big dip in my graph from 5200 to 5800. It maybe also a bent pushrod, a colasped lifter....
Im not sure if the yella'z are responsible but i do know that i will check this out very soon....been really busy down here...
I have been researching a set of crane gold, 1.8 rockers, the kit includes everything you need and you should pick up some extra poines..though a few factors like deck clearance, fro example, need to be address from my understanding....
this seems to be a recurring things on this board with these cars....not so much with the terra'z but with everything in general....

With my yt's I had valve float with the comp r lifters, I switched to the stock lifters and no more float.
They yt's are overall lighter than stock but weigh almost double at the tip of what a stocker does. Just stay away from the comp r lifters.

I've heard repeatedly that the stockers are way easier to rev without valve float than any aftermarket rocker out there including the high dollar Jesel's. I think I'm sticking with the stockers for now myself
