Better by far to broach them rather than ream them.

Yeah a broached rocker shaft would go well with a nice pair of shoes and matching handbag.

thru all these direct in bin, go back to 1.3's. cam lobes, valves, guides will be so much more reliable, and you'll not loose that much.

pics of the r shaft ,
you can see its been running half cracked for a while ,
also if you look closely at the side of the shaft on one of the pics ,you can see where i have tapped it on the vice and left two dents in it ,one on the bearing surface and one about an inch up on the non wearing surface ,there is no difference ,and i would say this has not had any sort of heat treatment .

yes gavin , i put it in the electric drill with a rule on the valve pad to keep it paralell , it was a bit of a palaver and needed 2 people ,one to drill and one to check it was parallel !
the avonbar rocker did use a stock rocker bush thank god .

i used 2 sockets , one to push it out and one to spacer it on the other side , in the vice ,then tapped out the last bit once it had bottomed on the socket spacer ......er .... did that make any sense ?

anyrdup ,then i pushed in the new one in the vice , be carefull they tilt easily and peel of a layer of the bush if you let them .
oh and make sure you have the split in the bush at the top of the hole .

I took the rest of the shaft out tonight and it files very very easily, also a lot of fretting of the metal under the posts.... soft as f*ck, but how hard are they meant to be?

I don't remember where I got it from (late 2013), but it was a thick wall

Maybe time to find a new supplier of shafts?

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
