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 creates less friction than the sliding action of stock rocker arms, which can help lower oil temperatures and potentially improve engine response and horsepower.

What is the maximum open spring pressure these rocker arms can handle?

These High Energy Die Cast 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 racing applications.

Are any special tools or hardware required for installation?

Installation typically involves standard engine rebuilding tools. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding hardware and procedures, as well as any recommended clearances.

Product Details

This set includes 12 High Energy Die Cast Aluminum Roller Rocker Arms from COMP Cams, designed for Small Block Chevy engines. These are a solid choice for street use and moderate racing applications, offering an improved valve lift and a 1.6 ratio with a 3/8" stud diameter. They fit a wide range of classic Chevrolet and GMC vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet C10 Pickup, Chevrolet Camaro, and GMC C15/C1500 Suburban.

Crafted from die-cast aluminum, these rocker arms are notably lighter than stock steel components while maintaining superior strength. The design incorporates a needle bearing fulcrum and a roller tip, which significantly reduces friction compared to standard sliding rocker arms. This friction reduction helps lower oil temperatures, potentially leading to improved engine response and a slight increase in horsepower. The roller tip and needle bearing fulcrum are held securely in place by snap rings, ensuring durability even with up to 550 lbs of open spring pressure.
