    Hey Guy"s, Ran my car at the track a couple weeks ago, heard some rocker noise and found one of the allen head adjustment screws had broken off right at the locknut. Is this something I should worry about? The pushrods and valvetrain seem fine. They are the Kenne Bell roller rockers. I also posted in parts wanted for replacement screws , rockers or complete assembly for sale. Is this common? Where can I get parts? Thanks for any help as my car is stuck on the trailer untill I can find a replacement adjustment screw.

    KB rocker screw

    TA sells a screw that fits the KenneBell rocker arm. PN 1323B $7.00 each. I have purchased several from them and they work fine.

    George, T/A no longer stocks the Kenne Bell screws and the T/A ones are a different size. Thanks, Chris

    your most welcome

    No need to send anything Chris. Glad to be of help. There are a lot of good folks on this board. I have not met anyone here personally but from reading the various posts I have to believe a lot of help takes place.

    good luck!

    Chris,

    If those don't arrive in time for this weekend's race, let me know. I can probably get those from work, and I will be going near Revere this weekend.

    Shoot me an email if you need them.

    Anyone know if the TA adjusters will work in Poston's rockers?? They are both supposed to be 7/16", but may have different threads..???

    I e-mailed TA, but got no response.
