Product Features:

Cost effective aluminum construction provides superior strength to weight ratio
Needle bearing fulcrum and roller tip reduce friction and lower oil temperatures for improved response and horsepower
Durable design increases valve lift while withstanding the rigors of moderate race use
Die-formed aluminum body is larger than stock, and may require modifications to stock valve covers for clearance.
