PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS POST IF YOU PERSONALLY HAVE NO!!! EXPERIENCE WITH THESE ROCKERS, THANK YOU NOW FOR THE ?


I'm looking at the prw 1.6 smallblock stainless rockers has anyone used them if so you're thoughts. This is for a BUDGET 408 with about 130-140 seat pressure and 330-350 open. Has anyone checked to see if the rocker ratio is close to advertised.


Thanks for your time, Jim

I've used them. The ratio on my set was closer to 1.5 than 1.6.

i have about 70 passes on a set in a 480hp 360. Turning it to 7000rpm and no issues. .600 lift flat tappet.

thought they wouldn't last a weekend....still in there..knock on wood

keep an eye on the lash though they can move around

I have the stainless 1.5s on my bigblock and they are fine.Only running a 540/557 lift solid cam though.They are bushed and not roller bearings.Im pretty sure they are made by CAT.There was a very slight ink stamp on the bottom that looks like the cat symbol.

Thanks for the replies and not turning this into a bash on the parts in question from people with no experience with these. I think i'm gonna give them a try.
