I am needing a good set of rockers for lowdeck engine that I am changing heads/cam etc on.ez-1 heads w double springs, solid cam, street strip car that is seeing mostly strip currently, I am looking for a 1.6 rocker standard offset and have decided on either hughes or harlands, I saw some Harlands on clearance for a good price but it says that they are bushed, I went to harlands site and cant find any info on them, are they discontinued, or a lesser quality than the other(roller) ones? thanks for your time guys!

I've installed the so called "bushed" rockers a few times on customer engines. They aren't actually bushed though. There is no bushing, just the parent aluminum from the extrusion like a Crane gold rocker. I prefer the rollerized Harland Sharps, especially if a solid roller cam will end up in the motor with higher spring pressures than the typical flat tappet cams. One other difference is the shafts. The less expensive rockers use shafts from pioneer. they have cup plugs in the shafts and they typically spit oil out around the plugs. Every set I've installed I've had to replace the plugs to get them to stop leaking. The better rockers use a harder shaft with screw in plugs on the ends. Basically you get what you pay for.

My brother has a set that is at least 25 yrs old. I got them w/a car we bought in 1988. Ran them on my Cuda for 12 yrs and my brother has had then for 13. I have no idea how old they were when we got them but they had been used.

Price ? Somewhere just north of 1100.00 for individual shaft ( W-9 ), and probably slightly less for shared shaft.

I live about 45 min.from the HS shop and I went to see the bushed Mancini units when I first seen them. Now the ones I had in my hands had an actual bronze bushing in them Maybe they have since cheapen them since they first came out.I prefer the bronze myself on a S/S engine. I had a good older set of Isky rockers done up by RAS so I just stayed with them. Gus
