    I've seen retainers break, seemingly just from old age, I don't think I've ever seen a rocker break that wasn't from a valve hitting a piston.

    Tried (and failed) to get my Polish registered 1970 911T with a 3.0 SC engine registered in Switzerland. Their issue was that the car was built for 130hp, but now has a 180hp engine.... They are thinking about what i should do. I did point out that the S model also had 180hp, so the chassis was designed to take it....... They will call me back in a few days with 'recommendations'. If all else fails, anyone want to buy a modified 70T RS clone?

    This is my experience also, the result of an over rev on the track or passing somebody, etc.
