Hi, just saw a snapped rocker bridge,


Do you think I could give a try with this one on ebay ?
Or should I use an aftermarket ?
The rockers are in good shape....
Thanks

 

I would replace them all with aftermarket steel ones.

 

Thanks for the advice, any aftermarket ?
Saw those Melling at rock auto...

 

IMO the one on eBay would be fine. If you replace them all with steel will you start the MAW process and buy all new rockers? Ya' know while the rockers are off, the valve seals...

HAAAAA ! I know your right, probably try one original, hope it will not snap when thightening !

 

Have both cam lobes on the base circle, no lift or tension on the rockers while torquing and you'll be good. Oil it well

 

Thank you, will do that

 

I put moly cam lube on the pivots, pushrod *****, etc. for break-in. I have never broken a bridge even when a valve was open, by tightening the open side first, and following with the other bolt as appropriate, being careful, not acting like a gorilla. I am still using the same rockers I got in the junkyard in the 1970s.
