Steve, email sent, thanks!
Terry, thanks for your reply as well. Sure, if you could press out the pin (and I'm sure you know this but the knurled end is sometimes hard to see. Ask me how I know And I'll pay for that little jewel of a roller!
And now I'm going to head to the shop to put "the hairy eyeball" to those oil holes in the set I have. I wonder if any of the others from your set have micro cracks in the radius of the drilled holes??

Drop me an email, like any little boy I have my eye on something I have wanted for a long time.
I'll sell the Windsors as well I have studied enough to know what cams and rockers work for now.
I have moved with the market, building for low end torque to pull gears. I have a set of the
sintered rockers that have done just under 200,000 and I'd put them back in service with a new shaft.

Well then I may be able to help.
I am supposed to send the rocker to Mike for some failure analysis, but maybe I can press the roller pin out before I do that.
It will probably be the weekend, before I can take a look.

Terry,
Thanks for your reply. I could even use the one of yours broken in half! I need a good roller is all. Not a problem for me to press out the pin, etc.
Thanks Todd
Steve, ready to let go of one of your dog box gear sets? I should have bought it from you when I bought your 333 cases about a year ago.

I got 70 K miles on the Titan 1.5s, so I cannot complain. I plan to replace the broken one and reuse at some point.
These were set up correctly originally by the machine shop/engine builder, but when I transferred them to another engine, perhaps I did not check as closely as I should have.
After the fact, I saw no coil binding on the remaining valves.
I think Steve's question is the most important one: what is the return on investment of time to set them up and then the corollary of do they actually provide the expected return?

What is the expected life of a set of rockers:
bushed/solid rocker
bushed/roller tip
roller bearing/roller tip
I don't have the answer and sorry to hijack the thread

When they were reasonable they were not cheap. I have been wondering if 1.5s are worth the trouble they can cause. Unless you have done it people don't realize there are more ways to get it wrong than right. Even the things that should bolt on and work out of the box don't any longer. I have a set of the Windsor 1.5s with the griddles. I have them trimmed to fit inside valve cover ( did not out of box ) had them on many engines I wanted to try 1.5s on. After testing I take them off and install customer choice. There are some cams that don't like 1.5s or the power increase is in the wrong place. Steve (CTR)

Lol - I saw the post and thought Oh man, I hope Terry doesn't see this! Couldn't have much better timing.

Someone was selling a used not too long ago.
Depending on how things work out I may have a parts set.
I believe you can still get the pieces.
The full roller Mini Spares set is made by Titan, or at least I have been informed that this is true.

Guys,
Long shot but does anyone have an incomplete set of these they would part out? I need one rocker, stamped RH and the older style. But I would be happy to have a couple spares too. I posted here since the 'wanted' forum is pretty sleepy.
If this is offensive or a rule violation I'll remove my post.
