    Interested in a KM cams M10/M30 rocker group buy?

    Hi,

    Couple people mentioned to me, that the KM cams High strength steel rocker group buy might be interesting for some of you guys as well. I though I might ask before I order.

    Hi everybody,

    after some research, I found a decent source in europe for High Strength steel rocker arms.
    I'm trying to see if there is any kind of interest in organizing a group purchase from KM cams in Norway?



    Nyproduserte smidde Stålvippearmer til BMW M30 / M10 motorer. Vippearmen har bredere pad, slik at den dekker hele bredden på kamknasten og forhindrer slitasje. Paden er også lengere som gjør at dem passer bedre til kammer med liten grunnsirkel. BMW M30. Ask price.  


    They have been discussed plenty of times online, being successfully used even with the highest lift cams in M10 race engines.
    The normal price is 399€ for 12 and 299€ for 8, but they are willing to give a good discount if we get a couple people together.

    I have time following information so far:

    - they come with new hardened Eccentrics and bolts
    - they work with almost every cam on the market, the contact patch of the rocker is wider and allows better wear patterns on the cam
    - leverage ratio is the same as OEM
    - the have a specially heat treated pad (I'm still trying to verify what kind of process)
    - no special oil/wear in procedure necessary

    Hi, my engine broke a rocker arm last weekend, I use my car for tarmac rally. Engine has Schrick 316º and Schrick valve springs. Power band actually with weber 48 is around 6000-7500rpm, very close to the redline of the original M10 rocker arms. I have read a bit about KM Cams steel rocker arms, ...

    Does anyone have any real world, longer-term experience with both KM steel (see below)? VAC Billet Rocker arms? My race motor build is coming together. The bottom end is all but done, awaiting custom pistons for final fitting. The top end is also ready to go and I have a 316 cam arriving next wee...


    UPDATE:

    I got the prices from KM cams. They will be around $253 per set of 12, shipped to my place.
    So the set can be had for $260 shipped in the US.
    Anybody interested?


    The surface is gas nitrided.
    As it seems that the rocker is not being polished after Heat treat, I'm currently looking into CNC polishing them after I receive them in.
    KM cams has confirmed that this would not be necessary, but I do like to be on the safe side.
    I will try to place the order in the next couple of days.

    I also did weigh the factory ones. They are 73g a piece without hardware.
    After the last revision, the KM rockers are 101.6g, according to the 2002FAQ.

            I have been waiting for a couple responses from them lately.
            A set for M10s should be around $175 shipped in the US.

                            You can get them through ppf http://server.pure-pf.com/webshop2/e...r-for-m30.html

                            I’m tossing up getting some for mine, but I think that will be stage 2 with a more aggressive lift cam

                              Anyone in this group buy have a spare set of rockers they'd be willing to part with? Looking for a set of 12.
