Neglected Rotocoils

 

By Steve Scott

 

“Neglected, unappreciated, disregarded and overlooked” — this might summarize the service life of a valve rotocoil. These unsung workhorses in an industrial engine’s valvetrain are a major component in getting the full-service life from an engine. Plus, if this workhorse stops functioning, it can wreak havoc in your engine. Depending on the application, these rotators can be above or below the valve springs, and function with either single or dual spring designs. They are used on both intake and exhaust valves in a variety of heavy-duty engines.

Paul enlightens everyone about how one engine can be used in several different pieces of equipment from one manufacturer. Also, this month’s history segment pertains to the Indianapolis 500 and how one of our longtime associate members participated in the Indianapolis 500 in the early years.

 

 

 

AERA Tech & Skills Conferences

 

Everyone in business owes it to themselves and their business to gain knowledge and network with other people within the same industry. AERA understands that traveling to national trade shows to gain knowledge and networking opportunities is very expensive. Therefore, AERA has decided to help by teaming up with a regional host and offer these opportunities to different regions of our country and hopefully closer to your shop. All shops welcome! Need not be an AERA member to attend.
