The rootes rods are notoriously heavy,....

Yes, that lump of iron at the bottom of the big end at the top. What is the purpose? Had Rootes interests in an iron mine?

It was only the sentence "its like this"

"Its like this" is a fairly common phrase used in American speech, although it seems, not commonly written. It does not mean "Hey, stupid, now pay attention", although I can see how it could be taken that way. It is commonly used as an introduction to an explanation. Do not let it bother you.

Oversensitive for sure.

It wasnt intended to sound patronizing, sorry if it did.

Of course it didn't!!!! I was joking!!

It's the patronizing space between the words!!!! no,no,no just joking again

(these Americans seems to be very serious sometimes)

Wow... sad news about the prospects for decent bolts. But, hey, if they're that rare, maybe I should put them up on eBay... I'll bet I can retire on the proceeds.

I have a few sets of ARP rod bolts.
If anyone wants to buy new Chevy 5.7 inline rods new from the dealer, please post the part number here. Mercrusier has them too, but I would think they might be more expensive.

The roller rockers are good, but I would not use old rocker shafts with them. So, the question is, where does one find new shafts?....at a fair price?

Hi Guys, I know it's an old thread, but any more details or Web links on roller rockers for 1725 engines would be great.

Hi Jim,

I'd be interested in looking at articles you mentioned. Are you able to forward me a LINK?
