What rockers for my application?
What rockers for my application? I've been reading up on some rocker choices, but I'm having a hard time coming to a decision.
Right now I'm running the stockers at .646" lift which I hear is close to the limit for a stock rocker. I'm also running ETP 245 heads and I would like to avoid grinding on them to make clearance if possible.
I've been leaning towards Harland Sharp non-adjustables, but I will go to something like Jesel if they're worth twice the cost of HS. What do you guys think?

Rockers I have 2 sets, one set on a 402 with 1.7 ratio and 1 set on a LS7 headed engine. No problems at all. That was one thing that sold me is they bolted right on without any mods.
The lift of the cams is .610 but they should handle the .646 fine.

Jesel you can't go wrong with the other choice would be Yella Terra. If you want to keep the stock rockers(the lightest available) and want to ease your worry get the trunion upgrade, the needle bearings is the one thing that hold the stokers back. IMHO
DO NOT DO HS don't trust them and have seen a lot of VT failure, now that's on stoker heads but again just my .02.

I have seen the Harland Sharps fail too many times. I would suggest doing the trunion upgrade in the stock rockers, or the Yella Terra rockers. We normally do the trunion upgrade on most of the vehicles in the shop and do not have any problems with them.
