banzai510(hainz) Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 A Buddy had a Audi head to work on @ Autosport Seattle. I said ,Ask them how much for Datsun L series Rocker arms. The guy behind the counter said they are getting harder to find. $30 on up as much as $70 apc. remember Mr-autoparts.com had those for 11$ -13 apc. But they said they can redo them if needed so save those rockers In case a Bigger Cam is in the works. I guess they bought a new machine to resurface them. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) 10,000 grit waterproof sand paper, sheet of glass and do them in the kitchen sink. You know, this makes a 210 head worth between $240 and $560 not counting the scrap aluminum. Edited March 13, 2009 by datzenmike Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 sucks even worse for the L-six guys... :D could buy a new RB25DE head for the price of 12 new l-series rocker arms. Quote Link to comment

datsunfish Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 delta cams in tacoma will resurface them for $4 each last I checked. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Yeah I knew Delta would do it but after buying some cams from them then measuring them and find out they are not as advertised and emailed them about it they did a Hodinni Act and DISSAPEARED on me. When dealing with Delta bring a Micrometer with you. Doesnt matter I think I have 2/3 sets of new ones anyways. Just letting people know. Quote Link to comment

I take it that OEM rocker arms are NLA and resurfacing is next best option? Quote Link to comment
Fineline Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 These guys did a great job on a set for me for around $60 plus shipping. Nice guy too. http://www.rockerarms.com/datsun-nissan.htm Quote Link to comment
