    Going to be dropping a Newman in the Mini soon and was kinda wondering how the condition of my rocker lash caps might be. Anyone know if those alone are replaceable or is the only alternative brand new rockers, if mine are bad?

    Jan or eMiniparts should both should be able to give you the answer with a parts quote for the parts you may need.

    So far, what I have researched is that the lash caps are not sold alone, rocker has to be purchased at about $50+ each means $500 give or take if I go all new :( saw a nice set of intakes and exhausts used for under $400 but that is even more cabbage than I wanted or expected to add on this project.

    Yeah I understand that ^^^^

    It sucks but to do the project right, one time, its better to have and do everything with the right parts.

    Good Luck with your project.:Thumbsup:

    A Newman? Wouldn't the weight make your MINI slower?
