Perhaps roller rockers might be worthwhile to cut down on wear? Or maybe not...

Dave, I can't see why not. Also, are 911 adjusters allowed? I would run those just to make sure your valve adjustments are spot on.

Also, maybe adding some oiling to the heads. Shad, Jake, and I talked about this, I don't think it went anywhere (too much on everyone's plate???).

Adding some kind of oiling system to the heads could help keep temps down. Think of plumping off the end of the main bearing oil feed (it's on the driver's side of the motor, near the fan housing (now, thats for you 914 folks). Tap off of that, run a "T" and then install some squirters into the valve covers. You could be running cool oil right on the top of the head and maybe get some cooling out of it. It would return to the sump via the pushrod tubes.

Not much of a HP added, but longevity (which is what you want!)

Later,
Tom
