Title: swivel feet
Post by: flydog on May 05, 2014, 05:47:34 PM

I've got a new set of rocker arms and shafts. Came with swivel feet adjusters. Any experiance with them? I'm a little nervous about the quality of most"high performance" or aftermarket parts. Perhaps OEM style would be safer? Of course OEM style would be aftermarket junk as well?

I had some aftermarket rocker stands that looked real nice with a plated surface - one broke (fractured straight across the stand midway down to the base) when I torqued it down to 14 inch/pounds... My go to Vw guy says to be suspicious of upscale finish processes as the mfg technique weakens the metal...
