Hi Im in the process of doing a major service on my 748 and after pulling the cams and inspecting the rockers Ive discovered that i have several that are affected by the chrome flaking issue. Is there anyone in the UK that does an exchange service on replated rockers and does anyone have any experience of how well replated rockers last. Thanks.
I had mine done by Newman, as said above, better than original (and cheaper than buying new originals) as they won't flake. That said I've got a selection of spare Ducati rockers in the workshop both openers and closers, some used , some new if you are looking for originals?
Thanks for the offer. I’ve bitten the bullet and sent all 16 to Newman Cams. Pricey, but at least it eliminates the flaking issue once and for all. I’ve read on other forums that when combined with MBP retainers valve clearances stabilise almost completely.
Yes the combination of Newman and MBP rockers is very good, I hardly ever need any shims changing with that setup. Best to do the job once and never have to revisit it.
