OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

CB Bolt On Rocker Shaft Kit, 1643
CB Bolt On Rocker Shaft Kit, 1643
Note this kit does NOT come with the rocker side play shims, you'll need a set of these to set the side clearance.
  
CB Bolt On Rocker Shaft Kit, 1643 eliminate the weak stock clip and weak spring washers! This kit is used on the T-1 based engine (Type 1, upright Type 2, and Type 3), it does NOT FIT the Type 4 engine. This is a MUST with HD or Dual Valve springs! This kit is used on the T-1 based engine (Type 1, upright Type 2, and Type 3), it does NOT FIT the Type 4 engine.
The Rocker Shafts are manufactured from high strength axle steel and finish ground to exacting standards. Hardened steel bolt washers are used to hold the rockers firmly in place.
A lot of companies that sell these will tell you the wrong specifications for setting up the side pay. It's pretty obvious they have never tried to drive a car with them installed, their side play specifications are way too sloppy! Other companies will tell you to set them up anywhere from .006" to even .010" per rocker, which will result in massive valve train clatter!

At ACN we recommend that you set the rocker arm side play up at .003" per rocker. So the center spec will change if you have a "Floating Spacer" or a "Solid Spacer". Basically, if the 2 intake rockers can move side to side together, with the center spacer being a sleeve that slips over the rocker shaft, you are setting the gap on 2 rockers at once, so you double the clearance to .006. But if the rocker shaft has a SOLID spacer, which is either tightened onto the rocker shaft, or integral into the rocker shaft, you can still set the side play to .003/rocker arm.
