For Sale: Reconditioned/Refurbished Porsche 911 ROCKER ARMS

[YTNUKLR]

These are AS-NEW, PERFECT, READY TO INSTALL! They have been professionally rebuilt by a rocker arm specialty shop; they have been refaced on the cam surface so they run perfectly true, the bushing has been replaced and they have been heat-treated for hardness. I use them in all the Porsche 911 engines I build, and I warranty my engines for one year, regardless of mileage. Guaranteed quality.

I also have good shafts, NEW adjuster screws, and any rocker hardware you need, at very reasonable prices. I also have an ever-changing collection of 911 parts (mainly engine).

New rocker arms (just the arm) are over $60 EACH from Porsche! I reconditioned a large quantity to cut down on costs.

NOW ONLY $339 for a Full Set of 12!! Less than half the cost of new parts. Use these in your next engine rebuild.

A word of caution:

My mechanic used, and is probably still using, professionally rebuilt rockers for 'almost' all applications for years with great results..... no problem, and a very reasonable savings........ That is until we used them on my RS rebuild in combination with WebCams.

After the rebuild my valve train needed to come down for an unrelated problem after only 2500 miles. The pro-rebuilt rocker's face surface was already pitted very badly ...... 2500 miles ......

Only then did we read the bottom of the WebCam instructions/recommendations which states... "Only use NEW OE rockers, or our hard chromed racing rockers when installing our cams" ... We then called WebCam and got "Of course, didn't you read the instruction... our cams are HARD"

So, just this word of caution if your thinking about using reconditioned rockers in a WebCam rebuild...

This info is also in my rebuild article I wrote in Vol.15 No.2 of the ESSES

Cheers,

Chuck-

first of all, there are different "grades" of refurbished rocker arms. Some just grind the pad, and put in a bushing, probably what you had done the first time. These have been re-hardened and heat-treated, and I personally tested them on a Rockwell hardness tester, and these had an approx. Rockwell # of 52. That's real hard. So, even though I don't use WebCams, I wouldn't worry about using these.


Next time please PM me before you make a post like that.

Thanks,
Scott

As to my hasty answer and 'caution' on Scott's post.

#1. - I called WebCam today, and even though they still would not warrantee their product when used with 'rebuilt' rockers, they said if the rockers were as Scott explained they would do just fine. And indeed, WebCam had heard of a certain machine shop in the bay area who's work on rockers are getting quite a good reputation with their own customers.

#2 - I followed up and talked to the supplier that sold us the 'pro-rebuilt' failed rockers from my rebuild... And it is as Scott suggested, he admitted they were indeed just surfaced and rebushed, and not hardened and heat treated...

Thus, the information should also be amended in my rebuild article I wrote for the ESSES....

As much as I try to think before I write, every once and awhile, as others, I will take 'old accepted' information on face value and state it as fact.... even though the initial information might be shaky.

I would assume Scott's rockers are of very high quality, can be used on most any engine, and are a bargain at the price...

Please accept my apology ....


Cheers,

Chuck- Everybody has their experiences and that's what is so great about these bulletin boards--we get to share others' knowledge and learn from others' mistakes. I really appreciate your post and letting my rockers just speak for themselves. No apology necessary.

I hope all is well..

Best regards,
Scott

FWIW. Scott. Thanks for making these rebuilt rocker arms available. The best price I've seen from a retail source is $40/arm. Your price for an equivalent new rocker is excellent.

I would recommend the build specs on your rockers regardless of the cam (iron or welded steel).
