Greetings all!
We have spent considerable time rebuilding our 1960 Alpine over the past few years, and have finally finished with the engine. Our approach was to create an original engine with modern upgrades providing a more powerful, reliable and tuneable powerplant. Where the parts necessary to accomplish this were not available, we designed and manufactured them ourselves. Now that the engine is done and doing everything we hoped it would do, we would like to introduce the parts we developed to the marketplace. Importantly, these parts will fit all of the Rootes 4 bangers (1955 - 1970: 1390cc, 1494cc, 1592cc, 1725cc)!
There are three "setups" available:
1) Roller Tip Rockers - these will fit an original, stock engine and can be purchased in stock ratio (1.5) or pretty much any ratio you want. They work with stock engines, but are strong enough to handle nearly any power upgrade you might want to pursue.
2) Valve kit: This is really for the performance minded individual. The kit comprises new specially ground oversize valves, special Beehive springs, titanium retainers, 7 degree locks and spring locators. This kit can be used for a mild upgrade engine, all the way up to a nitrous or supercharged race engine!
3) A complete Valvetrain kit: pretty much the roller rockers and the valve kit combined - which will net a bit of savings over purchasing individually.
