ACDodd 1.3:1 ratio offset bushed ‘0’ tolerance rockers

[@skylinefever]

I like this. Usually I only see this when the bore is out of round, and this is cheaper than buying new units. I like that you precisely offset the bushing to make performance parts out of cheap stockers.

Love machining videos...so relaxing😊

[@MiniMattTV]

Excellent work! I love that the norm is/was to scrap them and you’re turning them into a premium product with some good engineering

[@ACDodd]

Thankyou!

My son recommended your rockers so I bought a set for my 1330cc Minor and with a SW5 camshaft, MG Metro head skimmed approx. 1mm. It has made a really torquey and powerful engine for fast road use. Thanks for developing something that actually works not the crap some specialists pedal

[@ACDodd]

Thanks for the feedback Mike I am glad they have worked for you!

[@luismeixner2125]

Great information to be had there! Also love seeing people reuse old stuff instead of throwing them out! An interesting topic would be how to optimize the rocker assembly -as shown at the end there. Unless that's a trade secret?????

[@ACDodd]

Thanks Luis, most people leave power on the table and don’t maximise the valve trains potential. Mostly due to costs. It takes time to work out the optimum geometry for a given application, and usually means a set of custom pushrods needs to be factored in to the costs of the final optimised setup.

Nice one AC, Sweet little fixture in the lathe 👍👍

[@ACDodd]

Thanks Paul

[@seanalexander9531]

Nice work, thanks!

[@TurboMinicom]

Keep up the good work AC.

[@ACDodd]

Will do Phil!

[@cooperturbo4598]

Very interesting video, thanks ! Could you get in more details about correcting the geometry ?

[@ACDodd]

Rocker geometry could be a future video subject

[@leewilliams-w3m]

Hi.. how much is a set pls... do you have a Web site

[@ACDodd]

No website and currently no stock

[@petesmini88]

Are you still making these? If so how could I purchase a set?

[@ACDodd]

Yes I think I have one set left in stock, send me a pm on messenger and we can talk.

[@OnlineHousehusband]

I've got the standard pre A+ type (A series) and I'm looking at upgrading. What would be my best option?

[@ACDodd]

If the bushes are not worn out these rockers can be re worked to give the full 1.3:1 ratio if they are the oval pad type

@@ACDodd do you have a contact email?

[@gavinivers8941]

Interesting how many basic parts on the A Series where so badly machined.

[@ACDodd]

People forget, these engines were made to the lowest cost possible. Therefore tolerances are the widest allowable.

[@GTE_Channel]

AC, do you have a website with your parts and services? I dont have facebook, that's one of your other outlets it seems. Would love to know what you offer. Cheers.

[@ACDodd]

Hi there no website I am too busy to have even more coverage!! Send email to [e-mail]
