I see a lot of member inquiring about an alternative for rocker arms without having to spend an arm and a leg for a set of Jesels. Well Harland Sharp is the answer. He will take your stock rocker arms and rebuild them with heavy duty internals, making them an excellent upgrade from stock. I have a set for sale and they too only have 10 passes on them.

383ss, I don't have any solid dyno numbers so to speak. I never got around to strapping it on a dyno before deciding to disassemble the car and sell it. It did however make 550rwhp with complications that affected the power and I also didn't have the vacuum system on there which is probably a good 15 rwhp easy. I'd imagine if I got everything sorted out, it would have put around 575rwhp. Also, keep in mind I had a 5800 stall converter with no lock up, steel driveshaft, 30" slicks, etc., so that ate up a lot of power. With a 6 speed tranny, it would have put well over 600rwhp.
1.8t, I don't know exactly part for part what's replaced, but yes, it's can be identified visually. However, I don't have any pics of a stock one versus a rebuilt one to show the comparison. That's all I meant.

Glad everything worked out for you.

That would be something Erik (engine builder) could answer more accurately. If I had to guess, I would say reduce the compression with a set of thicker head gaskets and opening up the chambers on the heads. Or going with a different set of heads with larger chambers. Again, that's simply just my guess.
