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

Roller rocker arms, like these from COMP Cams, feature a needle bearing fulcrum and roller tip. This design significantly reduces friction compared to the sliding contact of factory rockers, which can lead to lower oil temperatures and improved engine response and horsepower.

What is the stud size and ratio for these rocker arms?

These COMP Cams High Energy rocker arms use a 3/8" stud diameter and have a 1.6 ratio. This ratio is a common upgrade for Small Block Chevy engines.

What kind of spring pressure can these rocker arms handle?

These aluminum roller rocker arms are designed to be durable and can withstand up to 550 lbs of open spring pressure, making them suitable for moderate race applications.

Product Details

COMP Cams is well-known for making performance engine parts that help you get more out of your vehicle. These High Energy aluminum roller rocker arms are a solid option for anyone working on a Small Block Chevy engine, whether it's for street driving or moderate racing. They're designed to replace your stock rocker arms and offer an improved valve lift and better overall engine response.

What sets these apart is the combination of a die-cast aluminum body, which keeps them strong yet lightweight, and a needle bearing fulcrum with a roller tip. This setup significantly cuts down on friction compared to the sliding contact of factory rockers. Less friction means lower oil temperatures, which can translate to a small bump in horsepower and a more responsive feel from your engine. They're built to handle up to 550 lbs of open spring pressure, making them a durable choice for performance applications. The snap rings keep the trunnion and bearings securely in place.

These rocker arms fit a wide range of Chevrolet, Buick, and Cadillac vehicles from the 1980s and early 1990s, including popular models like the Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Caprice. They use a standard 3/8" stud and have a 1.6 ratio, which is a common upgrade for Small Block Chevys.
