Private Classifieds / Re: Steel End Support Stands for C4EA-F Factory Ford High Riser Heads
« on: April 15, 2023, 11:33:24 AM »Yes Blykins, thank you for the reply, but the aluminum ones (designed for the Low and Medium Riser and Tunnel port) are cut down for use on the High Riser and makes them much weaker. The support area on the bottom is probably more than 1/2 way cut down. That's why I was suggesting someone make a steel version for the High Riser.
But I take it you are saying that the aluminum ones even cut down add a lot of support. It just doesn't look like a lot of material would be left for support.
I am running a .600 solid flat tappet cam with no crazy spring pressures and I have already broken the end rocker off in 500 miles. Just looking for a simple solution. Other than cam motor is stock.
Rory428, end support stands.
Thanks again.
Since you say the motor is stock except for the cam, I would venture to say stock rocker shafts are not up to handling a .600 lift solid flat tappet camshaft.
I ran a 454 inch Hi Riser for quite a few years in my Mustang. Street and track raced it as well as put a lot of street miles on it too. It also had a .600 lift cam.
I ran Ford Power Parts rocker shafts, stock Ford rocker arms, double rocker shaft springs, stock Ford stands, and Ford Power Parts rocker studs. I had Isky 8005A valve springs set up at 135lbs. on the seat. I bought Dove roller rocker arms and their end support system and resolved myself to thinking if I ever have a problem with what I have, I'll replace my rockers and stands to the "good stuff".
I never did because I never had a problem.
The Dove Hi Riser end support, if you can find one, is a good set up. It will not damage your engine to pull a couple of head bolts and install it.
I can't honestly say I drove my 12:1 Hi Riser 500 miles though.
