Default harlandsharp stock rocker rebuild ???

I have a new set of stock GM LS1 rockers that i will be using in my 347 forged rebuild , running boost and a D1-sc procharger system.

I heard the stock rockers woke well and rpm nice, light weight and strong - reliable. But some have failed and there needle bearings fell out,

harlandsharp rebuilds stock Gm ls1 rocker arms, with a better heavy duty bearing.
For $275 is it worth it and is any one running these any problems?
thanks for your help.

harland sharps, yella terras, scorpions, etc...

I have a new brand set of rebuilt Harland stockers waiting to go in.

They look real good but I can't say how they perform.

Others on this forum claim that the rebuilt stockers can
reliably take huge amounts of horsepower.

Sandy at Harland Sharp treated me real good with a fast turn around.
She even called me to let me know they were ready.

I say go for it... IMO.

Had my stockers rebuilt by HS last year. See my sig for my web-page, and click on the HS rockers, there are pics of them installed.

Like you, I wanted light weight, stock like rockers, but didnt want the risk of the needle bearings failing and ruining my engine. So I spent the money for the rebuilt. It might all end up being only peace of mind, but thats okay by me. They run just fine, no worries here.

The Harland Sharp rebuilds work very well .
We have sent several sets to them for rebuld.

No problems at all and you don't have the valve float you somtime encounter with some aftermarket units.

In addition, they come back looking like new and include new mounting hardware.

Unless you have an all out racer these will be more than fine.
