Also ecotec rocker bolts from ZZP.

They are literally just cap screws that are available from any engineering suppliers store.

yeah I know that. they are YSF brand grade 8 cap heads.

They were only 20 bucks or something like that, saves me a 75Km trip to the faster joint.

yep, just checked partfinder, the single piece locator plates came out from engine VH1275084 in the VP, the rockers and bolts are the same as VR however the pedestals with the needle type bearings in them that vlad has only came out in the VR. i like the idea of those needle type bearings. much goodness.

hey,

would you be able to get me a part number on the plastic shied for ecotec that goes around the back of the balancer?

[psyolent]

yep, 24502264. thats off a VS ecotec. studs 24502097 go with it buddy (there are 2 studs)
note this is a 1996 version of partfinder so, the parts numbers will have been superceded/updated, but parts will be able to find them nonetheless.

hmmm? must be superseded as none of them come up in searches.

Buick one does though.

Just a thought about pushrods. I noticed the crow cam HD push rods are quite a lot thinner than the stock ones. But their CrMo ones are same thickness.

So I get their HD ones for go with CrMo ones for the hell of it?

What?

[vlad01]

sorry, bad wording. CrMo or carbon steel?

[vlad01]

this should be the CrMo ones if my length calc is correct. The wall is thicker on them too compared to the steel ones.

Moly is lighter, I'd go with them.

Im glad it was just your wording, I was beginning to think you where having a stroke

[vlad01]

They seem to have a larger range of lengths in them too.

Waiting for my adjustable ones now.
