Re: Rocker arms: roller rocker, stamped steel roller tip, or stock
I have stamped roller tip rockers in my 350 right now. I got them on a good deal from a buddy who bought them and then never used them. Waste of money if I would have bought them new... no significant gain of any kind, and they are noisy.
Full rollers or nothing. But with a mild "RV" cam and those heads... stock stamped rockers would be just fine.
The video from Engine Masters does show a significant gain with roller rockers after switching to a 7/16" screw in stud over a 3/8" screw in stud. The 7/16" studs are less prone to deflection at higher RPM's. So if staying with 3/8" studs and making any kind of higher RPM pulls... it'd be a good idear to invest in a stud girdle.
