Hi all,
I just opened my rocker housing to put a new gasket.... And was shocked to see these....(rockers!!!) There are no notes in the logs, I have a the rebuild receipts... No mention.... So I don't know anything about them...
Have not started my engine yet..... The engine came from a parting out RV4 several years ago... Its an OLD Lycoming 0-320 narrow deck..200 since OH

Somewhere in the cobwebs of my poor tired old mind, I seem to remember that folks were fitting Ford rockers to these engines.

Check with Bart at Aerosport, or Monty BPE, to be sure.

That's on the O-320-H2AD engine. It uses Ford rocker arms as well as Ford lifters.
 
I found a Post from Mel.... Who has some time on these....

So, they must be GOOD!!:)

I just needed to know these were REAL parts as opposed to someones science project. I don't like surprises...!!:eek:

I've been running these rocker arms since 1995. They are great, but I don't think they are available any more.

Those to me look like someone got crazy with a Mill and a chunk of billet.

I agree those have a very "Home Built" look to them. I was a Ford Mechanic for many years and those rockers were never built by Ford. There is no lube hole for the push rod, the pin for the roller looks undersized. I would not use those things.
