Volks,
        Thanks for the replies I have received from my other posts. I have checked
the archives on these questions, and have read conflicting answers.
1) I've read that the 1.4 rocker arms are good to use, but I've also read
that the "ramps are too steep" and can cause valve damage.
Which statement is true?


2)It appears that Type 1 rocker arms are the way to go, but do I need to
buy just the rocker arms, or the whole shaft and assembly? Will the T1
rocker arms just slide on my waterboxer rocker shafts? I'm also planning on
getting the swivel foot adjusters.


Thanks,
Joel
