<a 510 a the price of $6-$10ea that the quality in them is
the same as the Factory roadster rockers except the roadster rockers are 4
to 5 times the cost (supply and demand!!!). >
Not supply or demand but the cost to set up tooling, there where over 1
million 510 built, only 24,000 ,2000 roadsters built, the cost to set up
tooling for rocker arms is 5 to 10 thousand dollars, so i don't think Nissan
is making a killing on rocker arms for the U20 . And since that engine was
only used in the roadster, there ain't no cheap way out , Sorry!
Just called Nissan thought your price of 5 -10 for new 510 rockers was a
little low
they just quoted me a retail price of $31.50 Each ! Looks like the roadster
ones are a deal at $25.00 each!
