Default Ebay Aluminum Rockers

Ebay has a set of 16 anodized blue aluminum roller rockers for 160 plus 12 shipping. Complete with guide plates,studs and poly locks. Any one ever use these or heard good or bad about them? Just curious. I think I have 7.4 comp hardened pushrods pushing down on patriot gold springs.. Would they hold up for long? Yeah or Nay?

waste of money. just upgrade your stockers. They are more than likely heavier than your stockers any ways. we do the trunion upgrades and have multiple 700hp+ cars running them. pm us for a price on the trunion upgrade and we will hook you up!

Yup, I have yet to hear anything good about the cheap rockers, I have yella terras, I came off of a set of upgraded stockers, The only reason I went full roller was to try and quiet down my valvetrain,,it didnt get any quieter,, I paid 415 for the yellas, I know alot of sponsors on here like the one listed above can do you up for a set of upgraded stockers for 1/2 that price easily.

Comp makes the kit, it is a trunion upgrade, the kit costs about 130.00 and comes with new bolts. You remove the needle bearings from your stockers, then Press the new bearing shaft assemblies in, If you have access to an arbor press its actually a fairly easy job to do, they recommend a spacer tool to do it, but alot of fellas have gotten by without the tool. I made the spacer and did my upgrade, then gave the spacer away to a member on this site, with the instructions when he was done to do the same..

Not worth it just get some proven rockers. I'm not big on the trunion upgrade either. Just get some better rockers or keep using stockers as is
