Wanting to know what guys with w2/w5 heads run for rocker arms. Not an all-out race piece but definetly wanting something reliable. Thanks!

I have T&D's for my W-9 , but Harland Sharps on the motor currently in the car.
T&D is top shelf and Sharps are a pretty solid piece too........probably a better choice for anything short of full tilt dollar wise.
I have used Harland Sharps on other stuff over the years and have never had a problem with them.

I organised Jesel Sportsman rockers for my friends W5 engine. If you are not going to pushrod oil, then the Harland Sharps may be your only option. Sadly, there are no "mid priced" rocker systems for the W2/W5. The Erson system was the only thing that was close. I spoke with Yella Terra some years back about making them to which they replied "There just isn't the market for them." With the Australian Dollar being so high against the US dollar, not sure they could make them and sell them for around $600 like the Ersons did.

The heads are the W5 heads that were for sale in this month's race section that Ryan ported.
