These New CAm FX shaft rockers are tool steel, are lighter on the valve tip than a aluminum rocker, less deflection , needle or bushed tips,don't have the short cycle life that aluminum has.,and all parts are made right here in America. All ratios are available. Rockers are complete with tool steel shafts,tips and ajusters...pm me for details...LIFETIME WARRANTY!!!

Right - if it looks good, the engineering must be perfect, since (as we all know) all bad designs have rough edges, tool marks, etc.

These are individual shaft rockers. The smaller axle only spans the width of the rocker. There is a bolt on both sides. 16 bolts hold the rockershafts(splayed valve) instead of 5 on an inline arrangement.
Totally different application. not an apples to apples comparison.

I ordered a set of those weak, ill engineered, not as good as aluminum babies today so I guess it was all just one big mistake given the theory of how weak they are.
Having seen plenty of the guy's work, on plenty other tappets, and complete rocker system, and having seen stiffer exhaust rockers pick up power. I think it'll all be ok.
I only use steel on the exhaust side, and I've seen it make more power for anyone interested, or has high cylinder pressure IE blown, or heavy nitrous.
i can attest that EVERYTHING the guy makes is as nice as it comes. Most especially his tappets.

I run the T & D stainless rockers on the intake and exhaust since its a forced induction app. Did the needle bearing tips and spring oiling option which has performed flawless so far.
Wonder if these are any cheaper than the T&D?
Then again the aluminum ones seem to stand up to boost with no problems with other guys.. Piece of mind costs big money it seems.
What does everyone run for lifters and pushrods?
Smith bros 1/2" to 7/16" taper here and Isky EndurX EZ Roll 3372-EZX I think is the PN.
