ando76 4,354 Posted May 30, 2017 So your going to rev your crossflow harder than this? That's 6200 plus. 5/16 bolt on roller rockers, no guide plates!!!! get the valve springs right and you don't need any of that fancy arse bullshit. That engine did 5 years of speedway before being flogged in the skid car for another 3. Never once did it pull a thread on a 5/16 bolt on. 3 Slow250XC, Outback Jack and Valvebouncer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
