Two atmospheres are better than one
Happened to me two weeks ago on my daily driver Chevy truck. It’s not just spring pressure that causes it, wear also plays a big part. These have over 500k miles on them and this occurrence caused me to check the rest of them. I had 6 more that were very thin at the pushrod cup.

mancini sells a set of adjustable made by Harland Sharp rocker kit for under 500 bucks, slick units, and they carry the HS lifetime warranty. Something to consider, and will work well with a stout 600+ lift solid lifter cam, for possible down the road upgrades. Know several people running them with excellent results

What do you think about running a set of 273 factory rockers?
I cant find them. Can you give us a link? I know they used to offer that deal. I just cant find it now.

all I see now is a set that includes pushrods..might want to call them and see if you can get them without, or call Harland Sharp( nice people) and ask if they will sell you a set of these they make for Mancini
Mancini Racing - Roller Rocker Arm & Pushrod Pkg
Sale price is more than regular price LOL. PLUS... I believe they are NOT Harland sharps. Not that I think Harland sharps are better than speed master but what do I know. I do all my racing from the couch.

they are for a fact made by Harland Sharp, and carry a lifetime warranty from HS.
I asked them this very question few months back, talked to the son who now runs the company.
Good to know. Thanks for doing the ground work. The picture looks like all of the speedpro rockers and when I was shopping I did run into the harland sharps for the price you suggested but that deal dried up while I was shopping. I ended up with the pro comp SS rockers through B3 racing.
@HiFire, The Mancini site is a good place to do some shopping. They have some 273 style rockers for a decent price.

don’t laugh, for a time ( at least with Ram trucks) probably the rest, Chrysler offered a lifetime warranty on vehicles to the original owner. Came with just buying the unit free.
I know a guy who recently had extensive warranty work done on a 7 year old Ram with well over 200k on it.
Yes.. made by HS. I bought a set with the billet hold downs last year 1.6 ratio, have been sitting on shelf. Real nice looking set. I'll install with new Al heads.

Thank you Kendog. I really appreciate the help.

I know I'm right....
I think that thicker MP stamped rockers was myth busted. 273's at a minimum for any performance build. Adjustable are great for preload too. Not sure why people still run stamped with all this "rocker geometry" doom and gloom. A set of rollers just sold for $75 here.

Just want to give a shout out to Rocket and Kendog for helping me out behind the scenes with parts for my truck. They went above and beyond to get me back on the road. Thanks to everyone else for the input and support. FABO is a great community to be apart of.

Your rockers were prolly weak just like mine were. I am running a 509 purple cam in my 340 with stock rockers / springs and I had the same thing happen so I just replaced all rockers and springs with new stock rockers & springs and 2k miles later I have had no issues..
