Pauter roller tip rockers and Ti valves??

[richie]

Opinions on lash caps,are they needed with the roller rockers and Ti valves,when I have used these rockers with steel valves I havent used lash caps but am unsure with Ti,so anyone know for sure?

I am pretty sure you need them
Last year when I bought my Pauter head with Ti valves the lash caps was include and I dont think they follow if not needed

Hi Ritchie,

If you have the steel tip inserts in the valve-stems you don't need to run the lash caps.
I have a few motors out in this set-up on roller tips and no problems so far.

take care Steve

Yup you need to know what tips your valves have, or if in doubt and you can't find out... use the lash caps.

Thanks everyone,i dont think they have steel tips as we cut them down to length so lash caps it is

cheers richie

Another consideration about lash caps and Pauter roller rockers is valve geometry. It sounds odd maybe and has nothing to do with strength, but on a type 4, Pauter used lash caps in his kit just to make the proper valve geometry at all possible...
Don't know what the stock geometry is like on a type 1 head with Pauters though, but maybe it has nothing to do with material compatibiity there as well...
Just a (different) thought 
If you don't actually need them for material strength or material compatibility, they only make the valve side unnecessarily heavier imo... (as you don't run Ti valves for giggles right?)

Cheers,
Walter

I know it's over a decade ago, but FWIW I always ran lashcaps with Pauter rollers and DelWest ti valves.

Can you remember that far back Keith?.......
