A Thunderbolt Signature Series Engine is
differentiated from a certified, production engine in several ways.
Like
all Thunderbolt Engines, Signature Series engines are constructed in
dedicated build cells by two man teams. In addition to being team
built,
Signature engines are internally balanced and will be configured to the
customer's exact specifications. Items that may be customized range
from
major configuration changes such as crankcase or crankshaft to fuel
systems,
Roller Rockers????

No roller rockers are available. Just the new roller cam followers.

Roller cam/lifters are available as standard equipment at no additional
charge. I am unaware of any plans to introduce roller rockers.

No, certified engines come outfitted with the accessories that the
original OEM requested for the airframe (starter, fuel system,
ignition.) One of the advantages of buying from an engine shop in the
field has always been the ability to set the engine up to the specs that
you as a builder want. For example, removing the Kelly starter and
replacing it with Skytec or B&C. Believe me, we've got several Kelly
starters sitting on the shelf from some of the first IO-390s due to
problems (either mechanical or fit related.)
Also note that several of the engine shops go to extra lengths to make
sure that when you purchase an engine the components are what they
should be (like reworking cylinders, especially the guides and
crankshaft balancing.) Some charge an additional fee, and some perform
the work as a standard item.

Geez,,, Roller rockers are pretty easy to fabricate, test and furnish..
Cheap HP gains from them too.. You would figure a company like Lycoming,
with 60+ years of supposable R&D would have addressed that simple thing
years ago. Now,,, if they can get their crankshafts from breaking they
might go somewhere. You can bet if one does break on this new line of ex
perimental engines the their response will be "_uckoff" ,,,,Their is som
ething wrong with in installation.. They will not stand behind their cer
tified engines.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
