all in a nicely packed box

one cylinder set up

rocker has a polymatrix bearing. no needle bearings means less friction loss.

Rocker stud towers had to be cut down .170" to fit the shaft mount. the holes had to be drilled and tapped to 3/8-16 thread pitch.

You can see where the valve cover wall had to be notched as well to clear the rocker. Also, on the right, you can see where the bolt boss had to be machined down.

some close ups of the rockers. will need the 3/4" spacers to raise the valve covers enough to clear.

i won't have any before/after test myself, as i'm putting these on a completely different motor. vinci has already done some testing on their C6 R&D car. they tested them against the 1.8 quick lift rockers and made 19 rwhp more with the 1.7 shafts.
