I recently decided to install a trunnion upgrade in my car. The valvetrain is stock, just did it for peace of mind, and to hopefully quiet down the valvetrain a bit which got louder after installing headers. I narrowed it down to a few companies, and I sent emails to a couple asking questions. CHE got back to me that day, and I still haven't heard from anyone else, it's been weeks now. I don't know if people are shut down for COVID or what, but I was impressed with CHE's customer service, and they seem pretty popular so I ordered them through Scoggin Dickey who had them in stock. I had a minor issue with one of the bushings, so I sent an email to CHE, they called me back within a half hour and we got things squared away. Then he told me if I had any questions or problems to call, and gave me his office number, and cell number. I've been VERY impressed with their customer service. Install was simple, just time consuming, there's lots of videos around of trunnion upgrades, so I won't get into that. But they were very high quality, much better than the sloppy stock ones. After installation, the valvetrain is noticeably quieter. I highly recommend them

I had been getting some knock retard before that I was pretty convinced was false, and after installing these, the knock retard is mostly gone. I highly recommend them
I like the CHE bushings, if I would have found out about them before I found the Manton bushings (very nice also) I might have opted for the CHE just because of there oil channels (grooves). The thing I really like about the Mantons is the bore the cross shaft rides in is a larger circumference or diameter
I was looking at the mantons as well, they looked like a nice kit. I think the diameter is similar with the CHEs, the straub, summit, and similar are smaller
