If they do. It’s not the one they sell aftermarket. Anyone could tell by looking at them compared to GM ones their not.

I’ve never seen a broken GM rocker. Only failed trunnions. I’ve been putting these things together since 2002.

I can tell I have disassembled probably hundreds of the Melling, Enginetech, and GM rockers. I’m pretty sure if your dealing with both you’d be able to tell. Any ways I didn’t come in here to bad mouth anyone’s product. Just be cautious. Junkyard rebuild ok. More expensive, I’d stick with real GM rockers or shaft.

You can tell with the slot near the pad area.
But no, 2 of those are not off a gm head. Just to show you there is no difference in ours of course.

Here's a video of me using the summit tool works like a champ. Note this was basically my 1st time using this tool.

LMAO, no, I don't think it would. Although I did build from scratch an elaborate fish tank stand for a 90 gallon tank in my master bedroom once. Took a couple of weeks. We were in an apartment and had no where else to do it. Covered the bed with plastic and then just vacuumed the crap out of the cheap carpet. Stained it in my kitchen. Wife was a bit more laid back then I spose as well.
