    Rocker Arms!!!

    I am almost done with the rebuild and I am looking for a set of rocker arms, but want your guys opinion. I'm looking for something cheap, not trying to break the wallet open either and I'm not to happy with the stockers, so if you know of any good deals I would be greatly appreciative.........

    Well J&J is having a sale right now on Yella Terra Ultralites! I just bought me a set and it was under 400 bucks for the set. I would recommend them against the more expensive Jesels and an improvement over the Harland Sharps as well. Give Jason a call man.

    The stockers are pretty good but if you don't want to use them. Yella Terra are good as well as Jesel. I have heard horror stories about Harland's in the LS motor so I wouldn't use them even though I have had good luck with them in a couple of first gen engines.

    Ditto, I have Yella Terras as well.. Really woke my car up VS the stockers.. I could tell an immediate difference..

    I keep seeing that add myself and wondered the same thing. I don't think I have ever seen or heard of anyone running them so that tells me that they are either not very good or just not proven yet.

    I've read mixed reviews on several other forums. Some say they are great and others had issues with cracking. From what I have also see it seems Scorpion stands behind their product and have replaced the suspect parts. I would definately go to some other forums and see what people say about them. I have no personal experience with them and it seems no one here has either. Sorry I'm not more help with you question.

    I've had no problems with Harland sharps and like how well they fit under the stock valve covers, but I would go with Yella Terra if money is no option.

    The Harland Sharps are around the same price as the Yella Terras are they not? Didn't know they were any cheaper to tell you the truth. For under 400 bucks the YT's are already a steal.

    i've always been told unless your running pretty big power that stockers are really good. although i don't know for sure. I'm running stock and i may leave a horsepower of 4 on the table but for the $400 it's not worth it to me.
