Wasserboxer 1.25 ratio rocker arms?

[tobiism]

Were these ever offered as stock on the wasser? If so, what year(s) were they available?
Thanks!

Hi

The WBX used 1.1:1 rockers, the same ratio as the Type 1 but they use the large adjusting screws like the type 4 rocker. I'm using 1.4 Bergs on my motor with a stock cam.

Hey Steve,

Thanks for posting so much on this list. Are you running hydraulic or solid lifters? If hydraulics, do you happen to remember what your pushrod length ended up coming out to?
Also, did you have any valve cover clearance problems with the 1.4 ratio rockers, and finally have you had any problems with valve springs being able to keep up with the ratio rockers (assuming you are running stock valves and springs?).

Thanks... it looks like i am eventually wanting to build up an engine much like yours.

Hi Damon

Im running hydraulics, Im not sure about the pushrod lenght.

The rockers clear the valve cover OK, I previously used a Berg 110 hydraulic cam (with 1.4s) with stock springs and would sometimes use 6,500 with no valve bounce.

Any opinions on the Bugpak 1.4s?

(Longevity wise)

The price is right, they look good, but I personally don't like needle bearings, a pressure fed bronze bush would be far more reliable (as a mechanical junkie)

Any thoughts?

(something is going in the Vanagon... Scat, Bugpack, or Berg)
