Look familiar to me,they got me on price though.... did you get guide plates and hard pushrods cause those rockers are NSA?

ThreeHonks 02-19-2009 06:43 PM

where'd you get those at? look nice

ss.slp.ls1 02-19-2009 07:35 PM

They do look good.

96lt1m6 02-19-2009 07:41 PM

they are great..you do have to mod the valve cover supports but no big deal
they are NSA also so yes, you will need plates and hard pushrods as well..

Ok guys, i told him i would send businesss his way, he is out of Iowa, the packaging was great, fast shipping too with a tracking #, the rockers even came with an inspection certificate, the place is:

KMJ Performance: Ames, Iowa
515-233-3288
www.kmjent.com

I will say i'm VERY impressed with them, now i was told they are SA rockers, not NSA, they have "steps" where the roller rest on the valve stem to guide it, unless i have it all wrong lol, so please clear it up, are they SA or NSA, i also bought some studs from him, they are not "bossed" (desisned with a socket head), meaning its a straight through stud with different threads on both ends, with a blank space in the middle, i'll take a pic & post them, let me know if they will work or not.

Ok, i got to reading the installation, they do mention guide plates, so maybe they are NSA.

They are SA if the rocker tip that sits on the valve stem has "fingers" (or steps if you want to call them) that protrude to align the rocker on the valve.

I do agree that they look like alot like Pro Mags.

LM97Z 02-20-2009 01:49 PM

They look like SA, so are they?

spudnick3119 02-20-2009 08:12 PM

They look non-self aligning based on that picture. The roller on the end will have tabs to keep the rocker arm in place if it was a SA rocker.

Any reason why you didn't go with 7/16 instead of 3/8 since you'll need guide plates anyway?

95 TA - The Beast 02-20-2009 08:25 PM

Ignore the post above, based upon the second picture they are most certainly SELF-ALIGNING, ie, you do NOT need guideplates...

As a SA rocker they will make a little more 'sewing machine' noise when the engine is running, but no biggie...

96lt1m6 02-20-2009 11:14 PM

definately looks like a SA rocker....put one on and wiggle it side to side to see how much movement you have. looks like you will be ok with them..
i just prefer NSA

LM97Z 02-20-2009 11:39 PM

I figured they were, the seller said he double checked before shipping, i'm not real concerned about them being SA, Lloyd Elliott told me to go with them & don't worry, he has built many engines running SA rockers. I got to looking at there NSA's & you can see they have no legs.

96lt1m6 02-20-2009 11:41 PM

dollar for dollar these are possibly the best buy

gregrob 02-21-2009 06:17 AM

These look pimp. Almost too good to be true at that price...

I guess if Lloyd uses them all the time though, should be good.

Bowtie_Aaron 02-21-2009 08:13 AM

thye look good.
i am just always skeptical of cheap priced rockers.
i have a set of miller mid lifts on my chevelle, and i would like to get rid of them because they have gotten slop in the rollers (tip and fulcrum). i am worried the bearings will fall out. and i only have about 2k miles on them.

but if Lloyd runs them, then they must be atleast decent.
