Very tidy Monstar. Very exxy but monies well spent no doubt.
Isn't it common to keep the stock rockers but upgrade the bearings?
Well when the main fear is loosing your balls... er I mean
needle bearings, the cheap steel things with trunion mod or bush upgrade is the least you can do.
Dudes waste $1000-$2000 on stoopid stuff like protecting the clear coat or super expensive tyres but if you are going to remove, modify, swap and refit at some point down the track you may as well consider shaft rockers like these with 50% less nose weight of other shaft roller rocker offerings.
More speed, less mass, less noise, better lubrication, less friction.
These are the strongest aluminium rocker arms in the world with deflection and bend tests proving their aircraft grade extruded aluminium arms superior to rival aluminium and stainless steel arms. They are the ultimate rocker arm for use in high revving street engines and most race applications. Premium quality extruded aluminium roller rockers have never let a competitor down at high speed proving grounds (like Calder Park Thunderdome), where Holden and Ford Auscars required to run roller rockers having battled in racing at an average speed of over 200km for an estimated 100,000 laps. The rockers ran for over 170,000 km at between 5000-6500 rpm.
This set has done 320k km and crack tested fine. If you look closely you see the stamp 1.85 which is higher than stock 1.7 ratio, reason being I use a cam with larger than stock base circle (BCR) for valve train longevity, leveraging main lift at rockers. Just like the LS7, and the new Gen V engines do.
This also gives the cam more time/area duration which works out one crank degree for every 0.5:1 ratio increase, so easy 0.030" lift and +3º equivalent.
