Default Okay, who wants to see a Springs kit & Rocker Arm package???

All right amigos, enough of this entire broken springs and broken rocker arms fiasco. I talked to my spring manufacturer, and they have a stock replacement spring kit that will solve all your stock spring issues and give you piece of mind.

I am currently talking with the folks at Harlan, and if all goes well, we will be offering a valvetrain package that will eliminate all your stock worries. Sure GM will replace your broken springs or even your motor if it gets to that point, but who wants all the hassle. I mean, do you want to set out for a nice cruise or go on vacation only to see it cut short because your car dropped a valve? Screw that!

The package will be called: The Vette-Valve package, it will come with new Springs, Lockers, Keepers, Seals and Retainers, and also the new rocker arm assembly. You can purchase outright or by exchange (core), meaning, you will have to return your stock unit back and soon as possible so we have more units ready for the next person. I will only have limited units on the shelf.

If you purchase a cam kit form us, then you automatically get all the goodies (rocker arms are extra). But if you simply want to do away with the stock unreliable stuff, then this may be your ticket.

So how about it, should I keep this idea going or should I kill it? Your votes will decide!

Thanks,
Carlos

Thus far we had very good luck with the Patriots units...no failures thus far in three years and couting.

For a stock replacement kit, lift is 620! Not too stiff or not too soft thus ensuring thousand of worry free miles.

Thanks,
Carlos

I already did mine, but it would seem like a great idea to knock out all the seperate hassels behind getting everything you need. It took me alittle work, but still work to find, call, package, and ship my rockers to harland for the rocker modification.

I think it's great for anyone on the edge that just don't know how to go about getting all those things. Watch out for all those paranoid stock junkies that all they want to do is scare you about loosing your stock warranty because they are afraid they'll be the slowest vettes out there When they see this thread they'll come crying to scare everyone away from this. None the less it's a good piece of mind that I think is more than worth it.

what kinda price would this package cost? with and without the core exchange?

I have no experience working on a valvetrain - is this kinda work something that can be accomplished by an "amature"?
