Smile Re: Roller Rockers in Stock

I hate to be the only one who likes the idea, but I hope it's true. If you've ever tried to set valve lash on a 5.0L ford with the FUN FUN FUN shims, you'd understand.

the only good thing about this, is, i already have a set of Harland Sharp 1.5s... but, they probably wont be legal(wrong color or something)..hehe... Pontiac stamped steels are pretty reliable... but, i guess it was only a matter of time...
Transbrakes are next...

And I heard that the rocker arm manufacturers are pushing for a date stamp on the rockers. They must no more than 2 years old or they will not be accepted - just like seat belts. Another ENHANCEMENT to improve everyone's cash flow.

I'M KIDDING.....
