I'm looking for roller rockers for the Rover v8 - need to be as cheap as possible!
Not too sure if the ones on Summit will fit - they aren't advertised for the Rover, but the specs say they might fit. JEGS don't seem to have anything at all.
Can any Chevy parts be convinced to fit?
in the market for some myself.
yella terra ones apear cheeper 'down under' but postage and vat are a problem. I was in talkes with a customer of aussi MNR who may be able to sort some out
Kenne bell do/did a set but cant find a stockist of these any ideas anyone
regards

Kenne Bell are not made any more, so are impossible to get now.
Would buying 2 (or more) sets make the price any more favourable for importing?
i could be interested, but it all comes down to the cost.
Have you seen this site: http://www.tsimportedautomotive.com/ If you look up the performance parts for the TR8 then it lists roller rockers for the Rover v8 for $425. (US->UK exchange rate is still favourable)
if you look at the large picture on on the link bellow ( thanks v8tuner !!! ) i think they are yella terra part no YT6000 - wont post it up because it large

Looks like price permitting we are on the first stage of the first 'VEMS forum group Buy'. I am awaiting response from Marc's customer in Aus who has Some 'Faulty parts' ;) ;) ;) to return from the last kit car shipment.

I will mail Paul in a min on prices for 3 sets of yella terra rockers

Wish you'd told me that last week!! Just bought a 404 from him.
ah if you was a member of the v8 owners forum you would of known Dave :D :D :D
I am. I just don't get time to read it!
i see you have joined mate,
good to have another v8 vems user on my forum
look in the discount section for details of who to contact, (sorry to hijack the thread)
any one contact about the rockers yet?
i never had time today as my daughter had an operation at the hospital and i was up there for most of the day
Already done... I need to speak to Rob again - if he hasn't sent my cam out yet, I could do with a few more things thrown into the box.

If there's another set, I have a friend with a Griff who's very keen.
The Aussie has made contact and he hopes to make contact with his yella terra agent this week I have asked for a price for 3 sets and also 5 sets.
Hope to have some firm prices shortly.

the aussie link is a no-no 2 month lead time and 1000 Aus Dollers :o :o :o.
So plan 2.
My mate Marc imports brake calipers from America and has an import licence with customs and revenue anyone want to email a prefered us supplier and ask for costs for 3 to 5 sets ?
Regards
Agriv8
if we can get the prices right we maybe able to sell them on my forum too.
No idea if these would fit, but it seems the RV8 was used in the Triumph TR8 (a US only model)

What do you think? Worth a phone call to the States?
Roller Rocker Arms - TR8/Rover V8 (also GM version). Aluminum rocker arm with roller tip and force feed oiling to tip and pushrod. Oilite bronze bushed so no need for special rocker shaft
you refering to that Dave?
That's the one. It sounds suspiciously like the YT6000 Yella Terras.
it does sound that way, but no harm in asking :-)
Not managed to follow this up yet. But given the current exchange rate, I'll do it ASAP!
Thinking the same !!!
