[QUOTE="SteveO, post: 118518, member: 3636"] Interesting. Those rockers look pretty similar to mine, but mine are obviously a lot older. I suppose you can make case for roller bearings throughout the Vincent engine, the oil pressure is pretty low and the flow isn't great from the speed of the pump. I still think the rockers are overkill, but I suppose people use taper rollers in steering heads all the time which likewise have limited movement. Can I just take this opportunity to thank you all for your input. I am now much wiser than I was at the start of this post and have actually learned quite a lot about basic four stroke operation that I had never considered before. I said when I embarked on this rebuild that it would be a steep learning curve but even then I underestimated it! [/QUOTE]
