I'm reading conflicting info on 1:25 rockers with a 125 cam, are they compatible? and if so will I gain any noticible difference over stock rockers? thanks guys
-
According to Engle they are compatible.
Whether they do anything for your engine is another matter. If you have small dia valves I doubt the higher ratio will do anything for you. I tried 1.25s on my W-125 many years ago and there was no difference, so I went back.
What size valves do you have? Who ported the heads?

hey bruce, my valves are 40mm intake and 35.5mm exhaust in a set of empi 044's. i did a quick port match and blended the seats myself just to smooth them out, but was thinking of handing them over to a guy i work with (who has a flow bench and has been known to do some exellent work on v-8's) to massage them a bit more..............so are the 1:25's a waste of $$$?
