Default Rocker trunion upgrade

Aloha gang.
Well, I had my kit for a week now, finally installed it on the car. I put the kit in a new set of GM rockers. Man, my engine is so much quieter now. I installed my mayhem cam a couple weeks a go, had the classic loud sewing machine sound under the hood. Its like 75% quieter now. I just wanted added strenght, the quit operation is a huge added bonus.

Good to hear. I put them in my car also but didn't have any issues with a loud valvetrain to begin with. Glad they helped with yours.

I'm wondering if my stock roller bearing rockers were on their last leg. Maybe that's why they were so noisy. But man, the trunion upgrade with new rockers move like butter. I used new comp cam bolts also. They look like arp's to me. This is a must upgrade even for stock motors. Super easy too

They really are great, reliable, and also cost effective upgrade. We are a huge fan and run them on many of our builds.

From us they are $139.99 for the kit, and we keep plenty in stock.

A bench vice works just fine.
