[Shotimes] Modded SHOs & useless powerbands

[Bill Murray]

>From what I have been reading lately (Nissan KA24 and SR20, DOHC
4-bangers) bucket and shim seems to be a much better way to go.  It
makes the valve train so much lighter than compared to rockers when
dealing with OHC.  I know with the SR20 they have a big problem with the
rockers coming apart with revs not much higher than stock.  The KA24
uses the shims and doesn't have this problem.  If you want high revs and
usable power, buckets and shims seem to be the way to go.

The shim setup instead of rockers to me seems to be another
disadvantage, IMO. Sure you
have to adjust rockers, but it'd be nice to have optional larger &
smaller rockers as well as a
full roller setup. Now, this would require ***loads of money, however if
there were a way to
modify the current heads and adapt parts from the 4V 4.6L perhaps (not
the heads, just internals),
that would be wicked.
