We played around with rocker ratios on a computer simulation of a TR4 engin=
e. =C2=A0The added lift increased max HP by about 3 HP peak. =C2=A0Low end =
(under about 3500 rpm) torque was actually reduced a very small amount. =C2=
=A0If the TR6 results were similar, probably not worth the hassle of added =
valve spring issues and reduced valve guide length (greater valve guide wea=
r).
For what it's worth....

I also once bought a Goodparts 1.65 rocker roller assembly for a TR6 engine=

 a=C2=A0 lobe lift that is low enough. With lobes of 8mm or higher, I could=
 not find valve springs to cope with the high valve lift. I bought a G5 cam=

 lift and that makes for a=C2=A0 valve lift of 12.9mm with the 1.55 rocker =
arms. With 1.65 rockers , valve lift would be 14.2mm and I could not find v=
alve springs for that lift. The valve springs I used are part no 281003-063=
.20 from Summit (Isky), 320lb/inch spring rate. They recommend 0.45"/11.43m=
m=C2=A0 (1.250" - 0.800"from closed to full open position, so it is about 1=

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.=C2=A0
