I wasn’t expecting to see this post today. This may be a nice offering for the big block guys.

That sounds really cool-I'm cautiously optimistic about the quality and consistency

 

[Dartnut]

It's about time someone reproduced these.
I also wonder if the quality is as good as they look...

Being there are no roller bearing I think personally I would trust these. Heck I went 155mph with their crank and rods. Lol

Nice to see this, I was ready to purchase another set of Comp Pro rockers.

Thanks for posting.

$250 seems too good to be true?
Bushed?

Bushed ? No. Possibly plastic lol!
Looking forward to the reviews when they hit the market.

We ran non-bushed rockers for years. I ran them
On my .695 mushroom tappet engine for years.

How many small and big blocks ran them unbushed right from the factory? A lot.

Mancini Racing - A Engine Adjustable Rocker Arm Set

Heck, the stock ones didn’t come with bearings or bushings and worked just fine.

That's because they came with nanner groove shafts. The failures you see most often are with those rockers put on hydraulic shafts with no nanner grooves AND they also have too much spring pressure. Put those two together and they'll burn up every time. Used how Chrysler designed them and they're dang near indestructible. Especially when they are modded to accept high quality adjusters, like those Mancini rocker arms posted up there ^^^^ those are nice.

I have been running ductile rockers on my W2 small blocks for well over 25 years with never a problem only replaced one adjuster at one point.

That's cool.

 

[moparstud440]

Glad to see someone making these, and if that price point is true, very reaonable.

 

[Jonas_N]

Nice, I just got a set of max wedge rockers but to buy a 440 set to have extra on the shelf would be great.

 

[mcodecuda]

Any information on whether they will also offer these in the 1.6 ratio?
