    TA Performance Buick 350 1.60:1 roller rocker set with mounting stud set. New, but apparently was in storage for a while before I purchased them. I purchased them from a board member last year, but could not use them because a casting flaw on one of my already-ported heads created a serious geometry problem: the distance between rocker shaft and valve tip C/L over 1/8 greater than normal (works OK with stock rockers, but not with rollers). So, I had to purchase a set of Burton Machine stud mount roller rockers adaptors, instead.

    Additional Information: Upon close inspection of the roller rocker set I found minor corrosion on the washer and snap ring on one end of each assembled shaft, on the bare (not anodized) portion on one rocker (see R/H photo), and also on the edge of the bearing on that same rocker. I also noted stains in a few locations on the bare shafts. Unfortunately for me, I didnt inspect them closely until a few months after I received them. Since there was no way I could prove that I didnt create the problem myself, and the fact that theyre still serviceable, I decided to take responsibility for the situation myself. So, I removed the corrosion from the washers, snap rings and the edge of the bearing, and coated all exposed surfaces with a light film of Cor-Ban 27L: a non-curing, grease-like aerospace corrosion inhibiting compound.

    This set is perfectly serviceable as is but, since its essentially a blem, I cant sell it for what I paid in good conscience. So, my loss is your gain. $500 + shipping and insurance.

    Lesson Learned: Inspect merchandise closely immediately upon receipt. Makes it much easier on both the seller and buyer if problems arise.

    That's great. Thanks.

    Wow. Now that I've started the ball rolling it's snowballing. Took the heads for mild porting (just around the bowls. Ordered a Lunati 67000 cam kit w/lifters springs and clips. New double roller cam gear set. And researching TA's site I noticed that the 68-69' heads oil thru the galley and not the pushrods, so I've ordered the pushrod set with the oil passages. Oh, and with all that I said "screw it" and popped for the TA headers and a Pertronix ignition kit. Oh Jeez!

    I'm anxious and excited now. I'll let you know how it turns out.

    BUICK the "other" 350
