Subject:FS: Roller Tip Rockers (Pauter 1.3)

Volks,

(3rd post attempt)

After much delay, I've decided not to install the roller rockers I acquired
last October, courtesy of Robert Lilley who did a fine job of pulling
together a volume discount buy of upgrade chips, rockers and platinum plugs.
The chip upgrade worked fine for me, and I keep deferring the rockers and
plugs.   Frankly my Vanagon runs great right now, and I'm happy to keep it
stock until I go for a Tiico, hopefully many years ahead :)

SO: The total original purchase cost to me of the rockers, chrome moly
pushrods, and the platinum plugs was $379 to Robert.  I'll be happy to sell
the goods as a package for $300.

Remember, Robert recommends having the performance chip installed when you
use these rockers.  Also, you'll have to purchase a set of replacement valve
covers.  Robert's installation instructions for the rockers are viewable at:

and additional pictures of the valve covers are at:

Robert's original email regarding the valve covers appears below.

Thanks,
