auto craft rockers

[fredy66]

i just got my 1.4 rockers and they need new Bering not a big problem.
what is you experience on them. do they need to be modified (oil hole)

[DKK Ted]

There are Torrinton needle bearing with a hole and one without. Don't remember when, but they use to either file or machine a grove where the bearing goes into for oil, and I also think they did the hole thing for the oil through the pushrod also. Just push out the old bearings and you'll know. If those are original bearing, just use the same type. I use to work there with Bill and Ray back in the day.

my have INA S 1112 bearings is that the one to buy??

[DKK Ted]

Let me check with some spare's that I have. Have you taken them out yet??

[fredy66]

no i have not one of the is fu.. all the rollers fell out

[DKK Ted]

Ok, that is a German bearing, That will work, also the Torrington # is B-1112. Ya, you'll have to push out the old shell or with the new on, out with old and in with the new. I made my own drifts to push the old one out and one to push the new one in. But I'm a machinist, was easy to make. anyway, hope this helps. If you were local. I would do for ya.

Once you get all the bearings installed, put them in a can of oil and let them soak up then put them together. You don't want them to lose and not to tight, oil needs to be able to get in. Thats when they fail. Snuger better than loser. See what happens, when running, if there lose, they tend to bang out the sides, thus, they fail too. Just use good judgement.

excellent info there   

[fredy66]

any idea where i can get some 

[-Alex-]

I was wondering if you could get them through SKF

http://www.skf.com/portal/skf/home/products?maincatalogue=1&lang=en&newlink=1_5_0

I use SKF or other bearings often in the machines what i design with solidworks.

What is their exact size, so i could look and perhaps ask

[RMS Boxer Service]

I got a set of used but ok bearings in stock. I pulled them out of a set of rockers because
I replaced them with bronze bushings. I'm not a big fan of needle bearings in rockers and
converted them to bronze bushings.

Thats one way to go, i would think that too.  I looked for 7/8" x 11/16" x 3/4" needle bearings, but there were no exact match  at SKF, atleast i didnt find.  I could ask INA bearing sales at next week. BTW, german car should not have  imperial sized parts, these belong to old massey-fergusons and american cars
