How much have folks paid to have their rockers (all) replaced?

The popping will mean they are sticking, give the engine a good flush out and fill with fully syn oil that should get them working again

Had my rockers done at Just Taxis in Essex along with a broken valve spring..head off valve was hitting piston...but lucky didn't crack it...new chain and latest tensioner fitted during the rebuild...now running as well as it ever did...Superb setup that bunch ,very professional. Big bill but was back working the next day...

The chain and tensioner were done about 14'000 miles ago, so I'm hoping it's at least another 2 years before I have to think about that again.

The lad who posts on here from Taxi Techs in East London told me that the rockers wouldn't interfere or damage any other part even if they were worn.
