THE PROBLEM
-
Disaster
The Subaru FA20 engine in the Toyota 86 has a fatal flaw.
-
Floating rocker
When a valve spring loses pressure, the rocker arm can fall out.
-
Projectile
If it's picked up by the camshaft, it gets shot out the tappet cover!
-
Destroyed
Without the rocker, the valve can drop inside the cylinder and destroy the engine.

I wish I knew about this sooner
"I found out the hard way...I started the car, heard some sound, didn't think much of it and then on my short drive to my appointment, I noticed smoke and a trail of oil...FML"
Patrick from Colorado
My weekend ended early
"First session of open lapping my engine blew. One of the rockers blasted a hole in my valve cover. Pieces keep falling out and I've got a nice hole in the block."
We didn't know about this problem either until we blew up three engines in the Australian Toyota 86 race series!
OUR SOLUTION
CLIP
We've designed a clip that holds the rocker in place when the valve spring loses control of the valve, causing the rocker to become unloaded.
PIVOT
To do this, we've re-designed the pivot so that it has a groove for the clip to attach to.
In normal operation, the groove is wide enough so that the clip clears the pivot, however, if the rocker tries to dislodge it is caught by the wider part of the groove.
CLIP + PIVOT
Combined, the rocker is held secure in the valvetrain. There are no changes to the rocker arm.

Rev with peace of mind
Great to deal with and very helpful . Pity more bussinesses aren't like these guys. Bit pricey but hopefully worth it .
We have been using the rocker retainers since the beginning when Dennis designed the kit.
Recently while the engine was apart for inspection we upgraded to the up to date edition.
With even higher retention the rockers are now held in place even better.
If you have one of the early designs I would highly recommend upgrading to the latest design.
Brilliant work Denstoj Auto Centre and Dennis Stojanovski
FA20で使用して全くトラブルが無いので
新しいFA24にも取り付けます!
If you’re doing any sort of top end work, this product is a must have to improve the reliability of your FA20 motor.
If you’re adjusting valve clearance like I was, or taking off valve cover or cam carrier for a reseal, it’s almost like a “yeah sure why not” sort of situation to throw them in your engine. If you do something like road racing where you push your car hard, and happen to over rev your engine or have any sort of event that can cause valve float/valve spring surge, this is a great piece of mind knowing that your FA20 is gonna live to fight another day.
As of writing this, I have not yet put the engine back in my FRS with these clips on, however this boosts the confidence I have in driving this car, knowing that I will have a very reliable motor thanks to the Denstoj rocker retainer clips.
