Default COMP Cams & Lunati LS Rocker Arm Trunnion Upgrade SALE

Colorado Speed LS Retro-Fit Rocker Arms, 1.7:1 (GM LS Series)



There’s no denying that the GM LS 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 arm’s trunnion under intolerable stress.

Colorado Speed has taken an OEM cast steel replacement rocker arm body and added a captured roller trunnion for use in extreme street and race applications. 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 LS factory rocker arms. The captured roller trunnion increases stiffness and durability and is NASCAR proven.

Colorado Speed uses COMP Cams® with a new LS rocker arm retro-fit trunnion kit that replaces the cageless, loose OEM needle bearings and powdered metal trunnion with a premium 8620 steel alloy trunnion 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 LS needle bearings, which can send loose needles throughout the engine upon failure.

Colorado Speed LS Retro-Fit Rocker Arms are based off customer supplied core rocker arms. Customers can either supply their OEM rocker arms to us or prepay a core charge and send us their core rocker arms within 30 days for a core charge refund. Each customer supplied core rocker arm is checked in detail and refreshed. Customer supplied core rocker arms must be in useable condition. No core charge refunds will be issued on damaged unuseable customer supplied core rocker arms.

If you are supplying your core rocker arms to Colorado Speed, a representative will contact you on shipment after receiving your order.

May be a stupid question, but.......

Is the press mandatory, or has these been assembled using a bench vise?

I don't think this is a performance upgrade. These are all about reliability. The factory rockers love to spit out the needle bearings causing a huge performance deficit when it fails completely. But as far as installing these and gaining tenths in the quarter, or ponies at the tire I think you will find a nil gain.

Still a great product, and a great price though.

At what point, if any, did GM fix this problem? I have a 2004 coupe and kept hearing about the plastic sway bar ends on the C5s but when I changed my bars last week the ends were metal.

what??? You realize these are rocker arms, for the engine valvetrain right? Not suspension components.

Yes, I do realize this. I'm just saying that there are some things on the C5 that were fixed on the 2004, like the plastic end links, and was wondering if GM fixed the bearing pin retaining problem at some point as well. I would hate to buy these and then see that my 'rocker arm bearings' are OK.

Just got mine last week from you and did them easily with a drill press today. Was very easy and took less than 2 hours pressing out/in the new pieces.
