AIR-COOLED SERVICE KIT
Feb 10th
We’ve all been there; either standing in a motor factor or scrolling through a webpage puzzled by a plethora of filters and plugs that are presented in front of us, supposedly for the vehicle we own.
Fortunately, the good guys at Heritage Parts Centre have a bit of experience in this field, and they have compiled some ready to buy service kit boxes for owners of Volkswagens with Type 1 (air-cooled) engines. Each kit contains new spark plugs, rotor arm, distributor cap, HT leads, rocker cover gaskets and oil change gasket kit.

I’M A ROCKER!
Feb 10th
Conventional rocker arms tend to produce sideways movement in the valve stems which causes high levels of friction and subsequent wear to both stems and valve guides.
Replacing the standard rockers with roller-rockers virtually eliminates this wear thanks to the strong-arm construction of the rockers and the presence of large, low friction needle roller bearings.
The standard lift Burton Roller Rocker Assembly for the Ford Kent engine can be ordered as part number FP229K at £500 inc VAT.
The roller rocker assembly is suitable for all Ford Kent Crossflow engines, but an alloy rocker cover will be required for clearance. The Burton FP227 or More >
