    906 rocker arms...Value??

    Competition Engineering (Lake Isabella, Calif) has finished the rebuilding of my early 1966 2.0. engine. During the rebuild, he came across the 906 rocker arms that were installed at the factory(?). The owner of Comp. Eng., Walt, suggested that back in the day they sort of grabbed any thing existing at the time to assemble the engine. Walt cleaned and polished the rockers, set them aside and installed a more suitable valve train.

    Do you have any insights to my question? Thanks ...Skeeters

    Hard to believe they were so short of parts that they grabbed rockers that required lash caps to set the clearance. Something the average dealer ship or shop back then wasn't likely to have. Be glad to take those nasty useless things off your hands,,,,so you don't clutter up your trash can

    Ditto on short valves, about 2mm shorter valve stems.
