I've never used them, but they are made in China and that means trouble. Stick to the factory rockers with bronze trunnion bushings for trouble free performance.

I've never used them but they *look* like pro comp bodies. and I have seen the damage those can cause.

I'm all for inexpensive solutions and globally sourced parts but pro comp rockers are bad juju

You'd be better off with stock rockers. Please, don't consider using internal engine components from Ebay. If you want to run a set of ebay headers or true duals, something to that effect, by all means save the few bucks if it's worth it to you. But why risk running a cheaply made foreign part inside your engine that could potentially take out your entire engine? Not worth the risk.

They likely are "procomp" or "speedmaster"
Even tho they may be "stainless" they are cast and have alot of porosity issues and finish issues. I know from personal exp. They have issues and are normally too bulky for stock valve covers even.
If you want an inexpensive set tht is good quality, we have the scorpions for $395 shipped.

Default LS-Shaft Rocker Arms

Hi King, as you see, your were "modded".

So I ask : State the Rocker ARM material ?

MY CASE, I NEVER FIT an Aluminum Rocker Arm as they will break after time.

My first job job was to Heat Treat Aluminum

What happens in an engine is BAD for Aluminum Extrusions the Heat Cycle of Hot/Cold.

The engine's AL Rods, AL Rocker Arms, would last LONGER if the engine was NEVER shut off, just always kept hot.
