Looks like a Chinese knock off of a Comp ProMag rocker. I would stay far away from them.

junk...the ones i received from shannons engineering were used, they tried to deny this but the bushing, yes bushing, not bearing was clearly worn, the only reason I noticed this because the rocker was hard to rock. so we took it apart and found that. pretty much, you get what you pay for

It's hard to make an extruded aluminum piece "look" bad... it's the metallurgy and the bearing quality that will kill your motor, not their appearance.

ive seen em, they look good, cheep and tempting. but i dont know if its worth risking my motor if they fail.
however i would consider using them in a junkyard motor and beat on them. if the motor goes. no biggie
