Mancini Roller Rockers - 11/28/11 07:34 AM
I was looking around their site for a set of roller rockers for one of my small blocks. I came across their own brand of Roller Rockers, but no pictures. Has anyone used them? they are obviously someone else's rocker arms re-packaged. They were a little cheaper than the Hughes roller rockers, just wondering if anyone had a set?
Thanks in Advance

This is a big block set. These are produced by Harland Sharp but exclusive to Mancini. I did have to extend the oil hole just a tad to connect it to the center grove (just a touch with the dremel). These have worked out very good for me as the shape on the back side of the rocker allows valve cover clearance with my Stage VI heads.

I love them! We used a set on our Engine Masters 406 BB--No mods--they are great! Big adjusters just like normal Harlands and no oil pressure bleeding rollers--clear everything everywhere--Mancini is the only place I know of to get them--you have to figure there is over $100 worth of quality adjusters here--good deal IMO

Since others have let the cat out of the bag I will chime in and confirm. I have a set that were used to solve my spring clearance issues with the 1.550 valve springs. These rockers did not need to be touched to clear. They will also bolt directly in place of a HS bearing style rocker without changing pushrod length

If I remember correctly it is only the rockers and adjusters that are HS, the shafts and hold downs are from somewhere else.

I ordered a set and they sent me Crane rockers. The part number on the web site matches the part number on the Crane box. To add insult to injury they added a catalog with the rockers I thought I was getting on the front page. If I knew they were going to send me Crane's, I would have bought the Hughes rockers instead like I was originally intending.

That sounds to me like Mancinis problem there and they should fix that issue cause in my newest flyer they clearly state HS non roller fulcrum rockers.

I have contacted them but haven't heard back from them. This is the second time they have sent me the wrong parts, and sending parts back when you are on the other side of the world is an expensive exercise. I ordered these rockers with a BB oil pump for my friend's engine. The postage was $125

Thanks for the advice Mal, but I am not really fussed. I am happy to run with them, I more so just wanted to get the information out there so it doesn't happen to someone else.

i thought they sounded interesting but looking at the pic, i guess i had the wrong idea what "bushed" meant. i was thinkign they had brass or bronze bushings in them, sort of like people do to other aluminum rockers. the pic just looks like an all aluminum rocker. i dont have a need for roller bearings in my rockers.
