Home made rocker systems

You bolt the bottom plate over the stock pedestal

A guy at Summit's engine shop did these. Ford sb rockers iirc. The square blocks between the pairs keep them aligned. Iirc, he cut .300" off of the head bosses.

Potter made one like that in 2000..

Never heard anything about it after that but it looked like a idea that would work

Standard hex stud? Milled heads?

I like em ..Simple ...but what keeps the rockers square to
the pushrods and valves ?

 

[kzhurley]

Ford rockers are self-aligning on the valve stem.

Standard hex stud? Milled heads?

hex-less stud, iirc. A hex would have meant a larger cut on the bosses would be needed.

I opened the push rod holes & milled the bosses at the same time. Don't remember the details, but followed the "destructions " from Potter at the time...
I need a bigger cam !

 

[caddycarlo]

Found one in my stuff ... not sure I have instructions

 

[robocop]

I have one of those. How much is it necessary to mill the head?

Cool looking setup with the Ford rockers. Can a guy still guy these Potter Rocker Setups?

I have a pair of those Potter steel bars. I also have some SBF roller rockers. Do I need custom pushrods? What rocker studs do I buy?
