When I was sprinting Scimitars, the roller rockers to have were Australian branded Yella Terra which occasionally come up on EvilBay. They were in sets for a V8 but listed the Essex application on the box as well.

A cautionary note regarding Essex tuning is the 'press fit' nature of the rocker posts. The last one I had was a real screamer (Gas flowed & ported, triple DCNFs, Kent full race cam etc) and popped a post out a couple of times. I ended up having them all replaced with threaded items - not cheap.

Before I got the Cobra, I was planning the 4.0 litre Essex lump as a replacement (which are available from South Africa) for the RS3100 I was sure was going to blow up.

Regards
Jeremy
