I had a set installed in July. My engine is being rebuilt at the moment, and was discovered that one of the retaining clips on the outside of the rocker had broken. It was only a matter of time before it "turned loose". Up to this point I thought they were a good bang for the buck. Now I dont know. Have contacted YT and we will see what the outcome is going to be. :sad:

I don't have them, but Harland Sharp is coming out w/ rocker arms for the ls1's. I had them on my old Pontiac 400 and never had a problem w/ them. http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=120681

Have them on my big cube motor. Valvetrain noise went from loud to almost non-existent. I would buy them again.

I have them on my car for about 5mth now. Ok everyone says that it goes from a noisey to dead silent valvetrain. NO this didn't ahppen for me, THEY DID QUIET IT DOWN but you can still hear some valvetrain noise when you start getting on it but all and all I would say they are a great product

My friend has them on a LS1 Trans Am, quieted down the valvetrain a ton, and he has had no issues. I plan to get them when I add a cam.
