Does anyone have any opinion/experience/advice on these Mini spares rockers:

http://www.minispares.com/product/Classic/Engine/Cylinder_heads/Rocker_Assemblies/C-AHT436.aspx?100407&ReturnUrl=/search/classic/rocker.aspx

I might have an excuse to take the head of my engine soon, so was considering fitting a set for a few extra hp without outlaying too much cash on roller-tip rockers.

Engine is a worked 1360 with 286md, so would probably appreciate some better rockers than the stock ones I'm running now :wink:

I've had a set of these on my 1360 for 50,000 miles now, no problems with them except they wore out the last cam I had in it (Camtech 619, aka VP3).
The rocker pads and bronze bushes are still good,
The bronze valve guides are still all good too. :P

That's a positive then ;)

The car only does 2000 miles a year if I'm lucky, so longevity isn't a huge concern.

Might have a think about also putting larger inlet valves in at the same time, still running stock ones :lol:
