Default need rockers for LS2

I need to know what rockers are good. I had Harlem sharps on the car and one of them blew the bearings out #7 cylinder EX have yella terra on my other LS 2 but I am hearing there back ordered . what el's would be a good rocker to get I want a fixed rocker no Polly locks was looking at scorpion rockers.. and them mast rockers look pretty damn good. oh both are trick flow heads so don't say stock I would put those one but I don't thing the bronze guides would like that much . not looking to make a bigger time bomb then I already have

You could use the stock rockers and run the comp cams trunion upgrade kit. That will prevent any of the bearings from coming out of the rockers. We prefer stock rockers to most other rockers out there.

yea I been told to do that on trick flow heads you need to shim them also was told cant do it because not having the roller tip on front of the rocker will wear the bronze guide out but who the hell knows I am thinking of trying it any ways but I was not going to do the trunions I have the 05 rocker there supposal be revised from the crappy 97 to 01 type they do look the same but supposal be better only time you are going to pop the sides out of them is when you float the valves any ways but mast don't have the rockers ether only one is jessle so for get that this car not really raced or anything

I went with the Comp Trunion upgrade myself. Most other rockers at this point are heavy in all the wrong places and causes valve float. Sliding pads are the way to go, roller wheels are just dead weight where you dont want it.

The only reason roller wheels are on rockers anymore is because uneducated people want them, and wont buy an aftermarket rocker without a roller wheel. Thats why Im using stock rockers for now.

But its fairly simple, knock out the old crappy truinon, get needle bearings everywhere, press in the new upgraded trunions. Repeat 15 more times. Just have to have a press and an hour or so of time avaliable.
