    My stuff is now off to get anodized. Red of course! Once back, assemble the bearings and adjusters then onto the shafts, and then put the heads back together. Its so stupid hot down here I'm in no hurry to go to the track.

    I called TA today to order some roller rocker shafts, was told out of stock & on back order.
    So I will have to get some made locally & not play into the TA waiting game.

    I wonder why TA can't manufacture their products in a timely manner?
    What's the cause?
    Hard to find good skilled labor
    (Machinists)?

    Even if you kiss the ring, they still do not have a straight answer on availability.

    What's the topic? I got lost with all the posts on here.

    I thought it was the first post > Have a need for a pair of these and they are no longer available. Have a local shop making me a
    full set + a few extra.
    The stock is drop from Scorpion so its the same material used at their factory.

    Update. Rockers are done with the exception of the roller bearings. Seems no one has them or knows when they will be back in stock. Called T&D where the TA stuff is made and they dont have any either. T&D 's saying they are now using bronze bushings inplace of the bearings. So looks like we'll have to order some bronze and make some. Just another delay.

    I could but was hoping to keep them intact in case another member needed a replacement. We turned a piece of bronze down and made a couple to test fit. Think it will work
