Inexpensive Rocker Arm Source?

[Kieran Lavin]

Not to mention the fact that Rock Auto will send you rocker arms for a Maxima, you'll have to call them to complain, they will charge you for the "correct" ones and not pay expediting charges even though it was their fuckup that resulted in you receiving the wrong parts, you'll receive the "correct" parts only to find that 2 of them are for a GA16, call them again and plead your case for them to pay expediting because they fucked up, they STILL won't, and you'll finally get the full and correct order 18 months after your saga began.

Rock Auto has them for $15 a piece, they are not OEM units though.

So, the low budget rebuild on the running SR20DE engine with a "tap" noise (from my Father's 92), for my Daughter's NX2k just got a bit more expensive. At some point in it's life, (I am betting prior to my Father since vehicle maintenance is one of those things he is very anal about), the oil was run LONG between changes. It coked up and then with each oil change there after the varnish/coke sloughed off and clogged the cam lobe oil squirters. The Cam lobes are all worn down quite a lot and the rocker arms have valleys in the convex curve sliding surfaces. So the source of the "tap" now reveals itself.... :^(



Does anyone have an inexpensive source for rocker arms? Courtesy has them for $22.85 ea ($185.80/set) and maybe that is the best I can do.



I found 2 good stock cams in my pile-O-parts, so I am good there, but all my used rocker arms show too much wear for me to have that good feeling if I used them for reassembly...



Let me know,

Erik
