Those are stock yeah. Besides daily, I do race almost every weekend, which is high rev…but I’m rarely on the limiter if at all.
Even if I were, a brand new OEM rocker should last more than a couple K regardless…lol
Both times that I’ve broken a rocker, the car is warm, and I pull say 1st & 2nd…and they just pop. Last night I think it happened when I broke traction dropping into 2nd.
Rockers are supposedly the weak link in the SR motors, but they shouldn’t be that bad. I’m going to have the find the time to properly re-assemble everything sometime soon.
Oh, I didn’t mention that the car is running again now. I spent the afternoon replacing the rocker and assembling/waiting for the RTV to dry.
It seems to be running good now again…although it’s down pouring here now, and my corded front tires at -3.9 deg were a little sketchy during the shakedown run in the rain.
At least I have the ign advance (cam angle sensor) close now. No idea what it’s set at, but I just twisted it until it idled/revved smoothly and cranked it down.
I’m hoping to re-install my repaired Full Race manifold tomorrow and hit up the street car shootout on Sunday. I’ve been at the drag strip once ever, but they have this event once per year.
Two classes this Sunday, 13.0 sec + , and 12.999 sec - .
If I get the car running properly, I’ll probably try to tune for a 13.0 sec pass and see if I can get some prizes $$.
Rocker = magnetic.
Aluminum piece = not magnetic.
