That's the going price for Chinese rockers. Use at your own risk.

Bracket raced with a set of Pro Comp 1.5 roller for 2 years on a 340 that was shift at 6500 rpm...with a Hughes 256/265 solid cam.....about .590 lift...


Rockers worked great....

paid 115.00 for the rockers only...

Can you post your personal experience as to why they are junk?

Had a set on my 273, worn very fast and poor quality. i also thin k the rocker angles aka geometry was off VS the factory iron units of the crans and harlands I have used.

Save you $$ and use a better set.
Cheaply made china junk..

sorry!

I ran a set of chinese roller rockers, worked great & lasted a few years shifting @7000+/-rpm.
No failure/damage, just had too much side clearance at one point and 1 of the rockers needle bearings were wearing the race.

I'm thinking on having them rebuilt by gary at rocker arm specialties, or just buying a new set-120 vs 200$ er something like that..

There is no Name to them? It says MOPAR ROCKERS... I have had bad luck w/ no name cheap stuff in the past, cant say about these rockers but Just a risky investment to me... Hughes Rockers are 479 for the kit and 379 w/o the shafts! I would not do it if I where you... JMO

Good Luck Man,

KMJ also sells some good stuff. I bought my SCAT rods from them at the best price I could find at the time. Just gotta choose your parts wisely. As for cheap Chinese rockers, I remember reading a bunch of guys post how the adjusters stripped out of theirs. If I remember right some under the Mopar logo even did that. Knowing how Mopar parts has become it wouldn't surprise me if they weren't Chinese. And not all Chinese stuff is junk. I have seen some Chinese stuff that was well built. Of course you pay a lot more for it.
