    Or you could have them shipped to someone and have them then sent to you. I have done this for a few guys in the past when vendors didn't want to send say to Nova Scotia or Aussyland.

    It's funny to me because.. it's so simple to fill out the customs form and drop it into a mailbox.

    cool, I might take you up on that offer :-)
    They are pretty good springs to use with single chain tensioner right?

    Couldn't you just use crow springs?

    They're made down there right?

    yer i could... but the PBM have a much lower sring rate

    Im beginning to think there might be differences in the timing chain dampener between Aussie and US L67's.... over here almost nobody runs 105 springs without double row chain... out of fear the tensioner will break. But you guys seem to do it all the time.

    And vice versa... over here no one bothers swapping springs for roller rockers (even for 1.95 ration one's)

    so Im trying to get the best of both worlds here lol

    I believe the crank gears are different. After that, I can't say much.

    I can say my factory dampener was cracking at 90K miles/ 145K km. Heaviest spring I ran was L76 with 1.9 rollers.

    No, maybe 5 K miles after the springs and rollers.

    90K miles on the engine.

    When looking at even new factory dampeners, it appears there is a crack across them. I believe it's a production mark or something.

    The double roller is made for the AUS motor and needs to be corrected to fit our motors. The specifics are the chamfer/nose of the crankshaft is different.

    Holler if you need an intermediary to get the PBM's. There are a lot of folks here as well that say keep stock springs on rockers. Then there is the other side that says, if you start spinning the motor faster etc..you can have some float. I believe potential float is why most change springs. I've always felt that if you changed the valvetrain, you should change springs to compensate...however many do it w/o issues.
