Thread: Which rocker arms?

Tweet

So I busted a rocker Friday and I'm thinking now that one has failed others may be right behind it. I was using COMP Pro Magnum Steel full roller rockers... the one that failed busted what I guess you would call the steel trunion on the bottom that captivates the fulcrum roller...

Anyways I'm guessing the plain jane steel roller rockers just won't cut it... what should I use?

I'm running Lunati .630 mech roller cam with 250# on the seat and spin the motor up to (and maybe past) 7000 rpm.

Is there any weight penalty going to stainless or is extruded aluminum better... what are you guys running in your high revving big blocks?

Could this failure have occurred because I had the motor sitting for two months while I rewired the car and had too much pressure on the few valves that were open?

Thanks...
