Can roller rocker arms actually help add horsepower? The mechanically savvy will likely consider that question and say: “If you have more lift, and open the valves more, then you’ll make more power.
The rocker arm employs the use of a fulcrum or pivot to increase the cam lift by a given ratio. That increase in lift is the result of moving the pushrod pivot point closer to the fulcrum. That ...
Compared to the old, stock Gen I/LT1/LT4 small-block valvetrains, the LS engines are head and shoulders above their ancestors when it comes to factory equipment. Where the old engines (except the LT4) ...
The rocker arm is possibly the third most abused part in your engine. The connecting rods take the cake for the most abuse, followed closely by the piston assembly, but we like to think the rocker ...
Pushrods convert the vertical motion of the lifter from the camshaft lobe into valve movement. A V8 engine takes advantage of that by centrally locating a single camshaft in the middle of the engine ...
