Video: OEM Rocker Arm Bearings Compared to Sealed Type
In case anyone is wondering why to upgrade their rocker arms bearings and trunions or just wondering what they look like, here a quick video I took last night. This is an LS3 stock rocker bearing compared to a Comp Cams upgrade kit. Next I'll take a video on how to use Summit Racing's rocker arm tool which I believe is the best tool to do this job with. A mechanically inclined person can do all 16 rockers in an hour with this tool. Hope this helps. -Nate

I did this "upgrade" a couple of years ago....I didn't have any fancy tools, just used a couple of 5/8" ID flat washers, to give the old bearings a place to push into, as you press them out of the rockers, using a small OD socket as a "pushing tool". My only "high tech" tool was a small arbor press, which made the job VERY easy.....
