Question LS1 ROCKER ARM CONVERSION KIT - Questions....

How much does it cost to send your stock rockers to Harland Sharp to get converted to their "kit"?

Has anyone ever had any issues with the upgraded version?

I sent mine Monday, $245 + return shipping, Nate @ Nasty Performance (where I paid for it) said like $12 or something for shipping back. I haven't gotten them back yet, but I'll snap pics, etc, when I get them back.

Thats what it cost me and they (H/S) even give you new rocker arm bolts along with the mod. I haven't got my motor together yet, so no comments on usage.

How much is it if you just order the kit and install the new setup in your the rockers yourself???

For $250 might as well go a bit more and go with HS roller rockers...hopefully the kit is $100-150, ill call tomorrow.

They don't offer the DIY kit, you have to send them in. I prefer the stock HS rebuilt one's over their own design, stock is proven, HS tend to have issues.

And to the ORIGINAL poster, Bill I'm sure you've had them for a while, I've got 6 months of time on mine and I love them, no valve float and I'm shifting at 6800rpm with this setup.

We can get the kit for you for $189.00. The labor to do the conversion is not that much.

Can the upgrade be installed myself? or is there any "specialty" tools required. I'd prefer to do it myself

I was going to do it myself and just opted for the complete conversion. It should be simple to do your self with a small press.

You could install it yourself with the correct tools, such as a press.

Besides doing it myself, is there any way to work this out without the downtime associated with sending in my own rockers? Can HS just send me the updated rockers, and I send them my stock ones back once I've swapped them in?

Obviously I could just buy another set, but I'm trying to avoid that.

They replace the trunion (center piece) with a heavier duty version also, one that uses retainer rings. THey also supply new rocker arm bolts.

They do not have any in stock. We talked to Randy at Harland thius morning and he said they can turn these around in 1-2 days. So if anyone can live with this, let us know and we will get you taken care of.
