Is it beneficial to get the beefed up bps push rods and rockers? Or are most folks who run cams still running standard Briggs stuff? Thanks

Not speed wise but more reliable and tougher

DO NOT go with BPS roller rockers.... I did my cam has wear on it probably needs replacing soon and my roller rockers are coming off. I forget which brand Cody told me to go with but whatever it is I am going with it. My rockers have a lot of play in them are a liable to fail at any moment. He said they need immediate attention. Also looking at changing out the cam to a custom grind courtesy of Cody @ SETX.

My BPS rockers are coming off and PVT rockers are going on ASAP.

Haven't seen very many problems with the push rods, only problems i've seen with them is people over revving and popping one out or you'll get an occasional bent one but i've seen bent stock ones also. Most all problems are preventable by checking you lash and such. But i've also seen split BPS roller rockers just out the blue

I've got an older set of BPS R.R. on my motor. Compared to the new ones they look stronger. My dealer even said he would take the old style over the new ones. If I see where my cam is becoming damaged, I'll replace the RRs with PVTs when I swap cams

I am glad all I have to do is stop by Al's shop if I need something. He can be hard to get a hold of sometimes

I may be wrong but I believe some of the older "bps" parts are from pvt & eagle.... Meaning if u have older parts, it may already be good stuff.

Hyper31 First thing you should worry about with that 5500 BAMF you are running, is the compression. Check it, and see where you are at.

Post subject:	Re: Running a cam
Becasue the motors are coming apart because of to much compression, they build them not knowing the consequences of to much compression and then sell them, just trust and check it. 7000 are Natorius for blowing up

They don't sell modded motors (officially). They send you to shops that can do the work for you on your own dime and liability. Keeps them from having to answer any questions about failures directly and taking PR hits. Probably a smart move overall.

It's a secret. Bring it to Calen, GT, or SETX performance if you want a motor that last.

All I can say is if Cody says its too much compression, it's too much compression. No point in questioning him about a lawn mower engine
