| Valve train technology leader introduces new premium trunion upgrade for GM LS1 rocker arms to optimize both performance & durability Theres no denying that the GM LS1 engine platform has proven itself as a performer. The valve train is no different, with an improved design that makes for a perfect combination of power and durability to complement the impressive cathedral port cylinder head design. The rocker arm design features a lightweight, yet stiff rocker body that is strong enough for most applications. However, when it comes to high performance racing applications, high rpm and high valve spring pressures can put the factory rocker arms trunion under intolerable stress. Enter COMP Cams® with a new LS1 rocker arm retro-fit trunion kit that replaces the cageless, loose OEM needle bearings and powdered metal trunion with a premium 8620 steel alloy trunion and caged roller bearings for added durability. The new design from COMP Cams® utilizes caged roller bearings that greatly reduce the possibility of the bearing failure experienced with stock LS1 needle bearings, which can send loose needles throughout the engine upon failure. Perfect for drag and circle track racing applications that mandate the use of stock engine components, this performance rocker arm modification is a must have upgrade for your LS1 factory rocker arms. As proof of success, for the last two years this rocker arm trunion upgrade has been tested and performance-proven in the NASCAR GM LS spec engine series
Options:
I can ship the trunion kit and the bearings can be self installed. Another option is to ship the stock rockers and RPT can assemble the kit and have the shipped back the same day. The final option is to purchase the rockers and bearings as a completed assembly and ship back the stock rockers for a core exchange. (**Core must be returned within 14 days of receipt in order to receive refund.) |
