All is quiet on the TR front!
The Roller Rocker project is complete from a manufacturing stand point!
It was a lot of work! I had to dust off my CAM programs.
What should be next? Clutch throw-out bearings or valve covers?

My vote is for the valve cover. If you do it try to fabricate a slot for the
gasket to fit into instead of the plain flat surface on the "Triumphtune" one I
have. This one is prone to "squish" the gasket out one side or the other.
While on this subject I should note that I have obtained from my local LBC
repair guy what appears to be a cork valve cover gasket impregnated with some
type of black pitch type sealer. This gasket has stopped the seeping I lived
with for years. I still hope to see a rubber gasket for the 6 cylinder Triumph
engine before I die.
