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

Roller rocker arms, like these from COMP Cams, use a needle bearing fulcrum and roller tip. This design creates significantly less friction than the sliding contact of factory rocker arms, which can help lower oil temperatures and improve engine response.

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

These High Energyâ„¢ rocker arms feature a 3/8" stud diameter and a 1.5 ratio. This is important for ensuring proper valve train geometry and lift.

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, making them suitable for street use and moderate racing applications.

Product Details

COMP Cams is well-known for making performance engine parts that help you get the most out of your build. These High Energyâ„¢ Die Cast Aluminum Roller Rocker Arms are a solid choice for street use and moderate racing applications on Chevy small block V8 engines from 265 to 400 cubic inches.

These rocker arms are made from aluminum, which keeps their weight down while still offering superior strength. They feature a 3/8" stud diameter and a 1.5 ratio, and the die cast body is larger than stock. The real advantage here is the needle bearing fulcrum and roller tip, which create significantly less friction compared to the sliding contact found in factory rocker arms. This reduction in friction not only helps lower oil temperatures but also contributes to improved engine response and a bit more horsepower. They are designed to be stiffer and more durable, capable of handling up to 550 lbs of open spring pressure, and use snap rings to keep the trunnion and bearings securely in place.

This set is designed to fit a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet Camaro, Chevrolet Caprice, and Buick Regal from various years. They offer a cost-effective way to get improved valve lift and a more durable valvetrain.
