If over the valve weight is a concern, go with stockers, redone by harland sharpe just for safety reasons

oops, I didn't say anything.....

btw: 35k miles of 7200 rpm's with stock rockers...

I currently have Terra Yella( old version ), but I will be switching them sometime here soon. The sewing machine affect is pretty bad. I will either us Harland Sharp or stockers. I kinda bought into the whole aftermarket rocker arm thing

Have you been to the ls forums and seen the rocker wars?..

If you are not up to snuff on 'weight over the valve' and the problems it can cause, then you might be investing in boat anchor parts.

Not saying that they don't have some good points, just don't want you to throw your hard earned $$$ away without knowing the whole story.

Pics of new yella...please....

btw: sometimes a roller will help noise, sometimes it adds a different noise, but if you get your pushrod length correct, you'll have less noise with either.

btw: total ...I make it up as I go.....

I've been running the Comp Cams Pro Magnum stainless rockers for over 2 years now without problems. Have them on my 91' Vette as well. Quality parts....But they did require a little hammering to clear the inside of the valve cover drip rails...

The stock rockers are fine for me. I tried the Crane Gold 1.8s on my car for about a month and then sold them on Ebay.

So far I'm very happy with Yella Terras... the price is right, and the valvetrain is quiet. I just can't justify spending close to the same amount to have rebuilt stockers...
