Does anybody know of 1.8:1 ratio Cleveland rockers that do not require guide-plates? I know of stud mount ones which need guide-plates and bolt on 1.73:1 ratio ones which don't. But I cannot find any 1.8s that don't need them.

 

First of all, I can't answer the question.....

Second.... Why are you looking for 1.8's?? (just wondering)

 

(1) Oh well.

(2) I have updated the cam already and it is close to what I want, but I would like a bit more lift and a slightly faster rate. Since I need rockers anyway, I thought I might as well get 1.8s and kill two birds with one stone.

 

Why not go with the guide plates? the ones I have bought don't cost all that much and are easy enough to install.

 

Where do you get 1.8s?

 

I might. I will need hardend push-rods as well. Thought bolt ons would be easier, plus I can get some really good 1.73:1 adjustable bolt ons for $350AUS off a guy (once off) so I might just get them. I would like to get 1.8s though.

LOL, I kind of forgot about the added expense of hardened push rods when I posted my question...

 

Almost $500 for a few more HP?
Plus new push rods, really?

 

I need rockers anyway, so it isn't as much as it seems; but it is a lot.

Yep, new push-rods if you need guide-plates.

 

IDK, with the price difference between the 1.7s and the 1.8s it might be cheaper to go with 1.7s and buying a new higher lift cam....

I am proud to admit to buying the cheaper (but very good imo) Harland Sharp rockers...
