So I started to lay out all my remaning parts to finish my motor cam, timing set, oil pump, heads, gaskets but wait a second no rockers WTF? My comp cams pro mags are gone, to many people in and out of my garage. This sucks because the old motor is already out and I don't have the money to replace them right now. I do have some 1.6 magnum self aligning rockers but I don't know how well these will hold up with a cc306 and 6800rpm. I do have guide plates but I here the aligning tab can break off, can I use for a bit or is that a bad idea. THIS SUCKS BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who goes into your garage? I'm assuming it was a friend or something right?

That sucks man, anyone who sticks out in your mind right off the bat?

I hope that even if you dont get them back, you at least figure out who it was. Hard lessons suck, but all in all even family is capable of that crap... Ask me how I know...

I don't really know my step son's been out of work for a few months but I really hope thats not the case, I'm also missing a $500.oo torque wrench. This blows.

Man..... Its really becoming the norm with people who are down on their luck.... I know that sounds like a horrible generalization, but as a Police Officer, Ive been seeing it more and more..... Unemployment goes up.... so does crime.

Back when I was 21, I had a best friend named Chad.... we went all the way back to preschool. I had two cats that lived in my detached garage at my apartment at the time. i asked him to go inside and get me some water for the cats.... he did, and had to leave immediately. When my gf of the time returned home from work, she noticed her entire jewelry box was missing. And she had gotten her jewelry out that morning. You can not trust anyone my man. Im sorry for your luck.

I found out some of my "friends" were stealing money from my little secret stash I have at my house, even every time we would go out for drinks I noticed my change jar slowly get lower and lower because my friends took out of it, small loss I know but still... ever since then I hardly trust anybody... I have a mini fridge in my grage that I put a pad lock on so nobody takes my drinks lol

Yeah, sucks now you have to safeguard even items worth only .50c

I hear ya on the "really feel like I cant trust anyone anymore" comment. Ive been recently taking the same approach, due to a few incidents with even people Ive know for more than 10 years...

I wouldn't run SA rockers with guideplates, the SA tabs and guidepaltes will fight each other. Sucks to hear, I was hoping maybe you or someone moved them ad you'd find em later. But if your missing a torque wrench also its unlikley you've misplaced both of them.

That really sucks! I had an ipod touch get stolen out of my truck a few months back. I really couldn't prove it, but i have a good idea who got it.

On a side note. I wouldn't trust the sa rockers up to 6800. I used them on my first setup and a couple of them broke on the dyno at 6800 rpms. IMO hold out for some more nsa and guideplates or don't tach it quite that high.
