I also once bought a Goodparts 1.65 rocker roller assembly for a TR6 engine=
, but in the end I had to use a 1.55 roller rocker assembly, also from Good=
parts, because, with the 1.65, it is difficult to find a race camshaft with=
 a lobe lift that is low enough. With lobes of 8mm or higher, I could not f=
ind valve springs to cope with the high valve lift. I bought a G5 camshaft =
from Schneider, they call it the 320-F grind (duration is 268=C2=B0 at 0.05=
0", timing is 57-83 87-53 , installation figure is then 103=C2=B0 :is that =
the same as the G5 grind?) with 0.340"/8.6mm cam lift and that makes for a =
valve lift of 12.9mm with the 1.55 rocker arms. With 1.65 rockers , valve l=
ift would be 14.2mm and I could not find valve springs for that lift. The v=
alve springs I used are part no 281003-063.20 from Summit (Isky), 320lb/inc=
h spring rate. They recommend 0.45"/11.43mm (1.250" - 0.800"from closed to =
full open position, so it is about 1.4mm more in my engine, but there is no=
 problem concerning coil binding : the installed height is a 1mm more than =
1.250 , the pressure in closed position is lower of course, but still 34kgs=
 (105kgs at full lift) an that seems to be enough till 7500 rpm=20
Racetorations have a race cam with 7.6mm cam lift, probably that would work=
 with 1.65 rocker arms. I still have the 1.65 rocker assembly, it is new an=
d it could work with a road cam or any camshaft with a maximum of 8mm cam l=
ift.=20

Hi all, I=E2=80=99m building a TR6 race engine and have a set of 1.65 ratio=
 roller rockers from Goodparts. Any recommendations for a suitable camshaft=
? I will be putting in cam bearings.=20

Thanks, Mike=20
