What is the primary benefit of using roller rocker arms over stock ones?

Roller rocker arms, like these COMP Cams High Energy models, feature a roller tip and needle bearing fulcrum. This design significantly reduces friction compared to the sliding action of stock rocker arms, which can lead to lower oil temperatures and improved engine response.

What is the stud diameter and ratio of these rocker arms?

These COMP Cams High Energy rocker arms have a 7/16" stud diameter and a 1.6 ratio. The higher ratio helps to increase valve lift, which can contribute to improved engine performance.

What kind of spring pressure can these rocker arms handle?

These rocker arms are designed to withstand up to 550 lbs of open spring pressure. This makes them suitable for performance applications that may use stiffer valve springs.

Product Details

If you're working on a classic AMC, Ford small block, or Oldsmobile V8 engine, these COMP Cams High Energy Aluminum Roller Rocker Arms are a solid option. They're designed for street use and moderate racing applications, offering an affordable way to get improved valve lift and better engine response. These rocker arms feature a 7/16" stud diameter and a 1.6 ratio, helping to open the valves more effectively than stock parts.

What sets these apart is their construction: a die-cast aluminum body that's larger than stock but still lightweight, paired with a needle bearing fulcrum and a roller tip. This combination significantly reduces friction compared to the sliding rocker arms found in many factory setups. Less friction means lower oil temperatures, which can lead to improved throttle response and a small bump in horsepower. They're built to be stiffer and more durable than stock, capable of handling up to 550 lbs of open spring pressure, making them suitable for performance builds.

These rocker arms fit a wide range of AMC V8s (290-401), Ford V8s (289, 302-351 Windsor), and various Oldsmobile V8s. They use snap rings to keep the trunnion and bearings securely in place, ensuring reliable operation.
