Thanks for the compliments on the rockers, they are an awesome piece as we have been testing them for the last 8 months
1. We got a small run done, but i was only about 10 sets. We didnt advertise them as they would have sold out instantly and left some upset. We should have more in the next few weeks, and a large run in a couple months
2. The trunions in the rockers are TSP not CHE. We are working with CHE now to try to have an option for those guys who want bushing instead of bearing.
2. The picture is not a good representaion of hoelw they are packaged. It looks as if his box tore during shipping and the rockers went lose. I apologize for them showing up with a torn box. UPS doesnt always do the best job. I just want people to know we would never ship or package a box that looks like that. While the rockers are fine, they are an awesome piece and we want people to know we are proud of them. That doesnt come across when the box shows up damaged.
If you have questions let us know. When we have more in stock we will let everyone know.
Jake fusion is right on about pushrod length for those wondering.

I'm still happy with the product just got to figure out the pushrod length with the Johnson 2110r lifters and tfs 225. Btw it was ups fault not tsp the lifters were shuffled around also. Nothing was damaged or harmed

When you change heads and change lifters, it can go anywhere. Make sure to measure.

FYI We currently have 2 sets of LS3 Rollers in stock. Once those go it will be a couple weeks before LS1/LS2 and LS3 are back in stock.

The weight over the nose is the difference between a tool steel retainer and a titanium retainer. They are the lightest rockers over the nose that we've seen.

hey , another poster asked & i didnt see answer is there oil to the roller tip or is that not an issue? are different pushrods required? if/when these are available with the CHE bushings / trunnions will the kits / package include pushrods? im assuming my stock stud bolts will work. thx again group purchase for ls1tech? thx.

We do not have an oiling hole to the tip, no.
Different pushrods will be required separately.
As for the oiling, the reasoning was:
A) In normal orientation, the angle of the rocker causes oil to migrate down to the roller tip. So it isn't completely dry.
B) Adding material to create a closed oil supply increases the mass of the rocker. That is a no no in this case.
C) LS/LT valvegear is only moderately loaded, as the valve sizes are limited by the bore size, and revs aren't completely bonkers.
D) Drilling the long hole would increase the cost, disproportionate to any gains.
Rocker weight is way more important in this application.

You should mount the rocker on something and get a picture of the weight over the valve to show how light they are.

I am using 243 heads, Stage-1 porting by you guys (TSP-PRC). They have the 2.00"/1.55" stock valves (From a NNBS 5.3) with PAC 1218 Beehive Valve Springs, PAC R511 Ti-17 Titanium Retainers, and PAC Machined Valve Locks. Once I find a good set of stock LS6 Sodium Filled/Hollow Stem valves, I will switch to those to keep weight at a minimum. Cam is a BTR Stage 2 Truck Cam 212/218 .553/.553 113+2, if that matters.
If I made a switch the these Rocker arms with CHE Bushings, will I need to change anything with the added weight of the roller tip? I would like to keep the PAC 1218's, but if it is necessary to go with higher spring pressure then I will make the switch.
