Harland Sharp rebuilt LS rockers ARE NOT A RIP OFF!

As mentioned above the trunion & bearnings are replaced along with the mounting hardware.
Additionally, you no longer have a possible problem with the bearnings falling out.

Thier own rockers are good as well. I have used several of their other big and small block designs and always received great service from them and thier products.

You should have known what the cost was before you sent yours out and then come on here and call them a rip off.

I'm happy with my HS rebuilds! I think they're a good deal too.

Honestly this is a better rocker. I just am calling em a ripoff, because of the core charge, in which I personally hate. So maybe its just me..

and Ryan

I already explained why... and I mentioned it here again, the fact that I gotta take my old rockers off, ship em, wait to be rebuilt and get them back.

I wish they charged more, but just sold already built LS1 rockers, instead of asking for a core to be shipped.

There are a lot of part's with a core charge. The charge on my steering rack was over $100. Thats just one example. Trust me on this... it's you.

Those are GM rockers. HS does not stock them. SO what your saying is you would rather spend more money than what they charge to rebuild your set of rockers. You think you can find a rocker of that magnitude for $260 anywhere new? Go ahead and post it up. Not only is the rocker rebuilt but the arm is sand blasted and looks brand new when you ge them back.

I sold my HS rebuilt rockers for $220 when I sold my combo.

Really all you need to do here is cancel this thread or just let it go and take your lumps. You were totally wrong, even in opinion (which cant be wrong as its opinion .. but yours is).
The HS rebuild is a great deal and gives you a practicaly indestructable rocker.

http://www.harlandsharp.com/distributors.html

You need to go through a distributor like Nasty Performance.. see them listed there....

You call Nate at Nasty and he tells you what to do. Very simple, very easy to do. Nate is easy to work with and will help you out.

I just got my stock rockers back from being rebuilt by harlan sharp, and got them bolted back onto the heads yesterday. Here are some pics of them installed.

Why not buy a set of used rockers? For 60 more and you can keep your old rockers. I'm sure the seller would ship them to Harland or Nasty. If you need a set, I have a set for sale that are stock.

You can do what I did. - Pay almost 2 grand and wait two weeks for a set of Jesel Rockers. You will be broke, but then you will have the best.

and all of thise is useless to me, because like I said. Id rather have them build rockers and sel them for more, but as long as I can keep my old rockers as well, as spares. That was my whole idea from the beginning..

and seriously can a mod cancel this thread?

If you think Harland Sharp rebuilt rockers are a ripoff, try building up a vette. Horespower isn't cheap, reliability is even more expensive.

Go 2 the 4 sale section and buy some used ones. Or I'll sell you set of used ones for $50. Then send those off and have them rebuilt.

Funny this thread I think actually convinced me to get my stockers rebuilt by HS when I get my heads/cam.
