SBC stud rocker options

Dragsinger · 12-25-2009, 09:25 AM

A few years have passed since I last bought roller rockers, and of course, the market has changed.

The build up under construction at this time has Brodix Track 1 castings and requires stud rockers, 7/16 stud x 1.6 ratio with girdle. This application is not extreme nor harsh, thus making stud rockers a practical option.

So let me hear your current experience and positive feedback about what the market has available.

This link shows what the engine is being built for.

While I don't have any recent experience with small block stuff, I have had experience with breaking studs on a BBC and since I switched to the Jessel pro stuff. I have had >300 passes with no breakage what so ever. It's even rare to have to adjust a valve and I check them frequently. IMO they are worth the money.

On my small block, I use Comp Cams roller rockers with Crane Cams stud girdle never had a problem. Don't know if you can still get the girdle....
