3/20/02--First day of Spring------
Curtis,
I have the article also--thanks for your offer of copies. Also I
am aware of the 4.0 and 4.6 liter Rover options. I am interested, however,
in all the information I can get, of all kinds. So now I am asking you
what Volvo ALLOY rocker arms are you referring to??? Please be as specific
as you can. I only know of the iron (steel?) rockers from the B 18, B 20,
and B 30 engines.
Thanks.
Cheers,
Cave Kernberger
