Just wanted let the ones interested that the T&D rockers should be finished in two weeks. I talked with Larry today and he is waiting on a few pieces from heat treat and then will finish assembling the rockers. This is a little later than we were shooting for but close. Thanks, Keith Craft
I look forward to learning what T&D has come up with.

T&D has approached the FE from a creative direction in the past. I look forward to learning what they've come up with for the Cammer. Thanks for keeping us updated.
Though I'm not a race engine builder, nor am I planning to build a Cammer or FE in the near future, I am interested in getting my hands on one of the pieces to evaluate it thoroughly in the forum (without any engine use, since that is beyond my budget) and critique it without mercy (I dig cool designs). Since I'm really not qualified to evaluate a rocker design, I'd probably only offer a private review, not a forum review, and would wait to see how they perform in actual forum applications. Visiting Jay's shop and studying his Cammer rockers after Drag Week did get me thinking a bunch on how the design can possibly be fortified, while recognizing there are numerous space constraints which are bumped up against.
It is probably best I learn about this new product as Cammer folk start using it, but I can ponder.
Shoe.

I'm curious as well. Will the new tip roller use needle rollers or a bronze bushing? I'll be at the PRI show next month. Will any of this stuff be exhibited?
I will ask Larry about displaying some of the rockers at the PRI show. He will probably do that and if he does not have any I will let him use a set he is doing for me.
We can get roller tips done as a option like he has on all of his rockers. The ones I am having done right now are steel and we can get the aluminum ones done as well. Larry is making a couple of sets of the aluminum rockers as well. The steel rockers we are making will be lighter and stronger than the original Ford rockers. We can get them done in titanium as well if someone wants to spend that much. Thanks, Keith Craft
