Inexpensive Rocker Arm Source?

[Kieran Lavin]

With Rock Auto, I was trying to get NX rotors out of them for my B14.  I think I went like 4-5 rounds with them and they sent me everything BUT what I needed including one time where the boxes were labeled correctly and the rotors inside were not only wrong but they were different one to the other!  I missed two track days a month apart as a result!  I wrote off Courtesy probably 10 years ago when I ordered a catalytic converter on a Wednesday and had a conversation about the importance as well as paid for overnight shipping to ensure it arrived in time for the weekend only to have it arrive on the following Tuesday.

Whoa!  It sounds like a fun experience you had there.  Personally all of my RockAuto purchases have gone well for me, but that is just me.


Courtesy (about 8 years back) took my new SR rod & main bearings, tossed them, unwrapped, unprotected into a box and shipped them, loose.  Every one of them had the bearing surface all pocked up from banging into the sharp corners of the other bearings and so they were all F'd up.  I called and b!tched but was stuck because I had to assemble the engine that weekend.  I used 4000 grit emory cloth and some light oil and gently massaged them smooth.  Courtesy sent me 4 genuine nissan key blanks as compensation.  The "massaged method" worked though because the friend that has that car is still driving it on the same budget rebuild...
