Ah yes,
Hunting for rice rockets!
Roller Rockers are only the beginning, 1983 was a very good year for the
development of TR-6/250 performance parts! My old drawings may be
slightly yellowed, the designs were not drawn for modern CNC
manufacturing techniques, but the prototypes worked fantastic!

Today , I went down to Jim Swarthout's and we put the new valve springs
in;
(something that should be done on any car 26 years old. IMHO ) the old
ones
were very tired.
Before we started Jim gave me a mathamatical lesson on why the 1.75:1
roller
rockers are very complimentary on stock engine.
Then, the new roller rockers were put in.
I made the hour return trip home, and it was like driving a different
car.
I'd have to say there is a major difference in acceleration.
Tomorrow, I am going out hunting for rice rockets. LOL
I am thinking of seeing if a badge bar can be made up for a TR6;
anybody
interested?
Cheers
