Barry Nix sold me some KB roller rockers with frozen, galled tips and he will not refund my $410. I called KB, a shop they referred me to, and TA, but they all say no one can fix these rockers. Barry puts things up for sale quite often on this board so beware. A few months ago he sold me an aftermarket fuel tank that looks like it was made during WW1. I blew it off and didn't say too much about it, but this is big bucks.
Paul, I'm very surprised this happened. I know both of you guys pretty well, and this doesn't sound good. I don't want to get caught in the middle, but maybe I can help. I have a set of old Kenne Bell roller rockers, and quite a few spare rocker arms. How many rockers are bad? If everyone agrees to it and if I have enough, maybe I can offer some of my spare rockers to complete your set, and Barry can buy them (or trade some parts) to make it work out. Both of you have my phone number so give me a call if interested. Otherwise I hope you can work this out.
James, What a great idea! I need 3 lefts and 2 rights. That's viewed from the valve side. How much do you want for them? Barry, are you listening? Happy New Year, James.
Paul, Here is what I have. It looks like I have several spare rockers that we could rob the tips from since several of my rocker arms have been machined at some point. Maybe I could bring them with me on my next trip to San Antonio and we could clean them up and see if we can make two good sets out of what we have. From what I know, Barry is out of town until late March/early April. I do not know if he has time or access to the v8board. Hopefully we can make this work out for everyone. :beer
