Hey, Anyone have anything bad or good to say about these 1.5 :1 Roller Rockers you can get from minisport.
Look like a nice easy mod and im very tempted.

Thanks, Stu!

i run minisport 1.5 rockers had good results with the standard cam, put about 8 BHP on the engine and didn't lose any low end power

fine as long as you get valve springs to match your cam and the rockers not doing this puts undue wear on valve train

Utter waste of time and money. Do nothing beneficial for performance. Put undue wear on valve train.
Don't get them! I have my set sat in the garage, standard ratio is whats best

They'll be staying with the car I'm afraid. I have a rare Cooper S model and so want to keep all the standard bits with it, keeping it original - just some of the original bit are sat in my tool chest

there is a really good article in one of the recent Mini Mags by Keith Calver about Roller Rockers. Well worth a read.
