These High Energy Die Cast Aluminum Roller Rocker Arms for Chevy V8 396-454 applications are perfect for street and moderate race use. With a 7/16″ stud diameter and 1.7 ratio, the die cast, larger-than-stock body of the rocker arms is made of aluminum for superior strength with light overall weight.

Snap rings are used to hold the trunion and bearings locked in place.

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.

Our unique Multi-Layered steel head gasket embossment formation process optimizes the embossment radius, reduces stress points, enhances gasket conformability, and provides uniform clamp load distribution. This all results in superior surface contact between block and cylinder head. All head gasket layers/spacers go through an additional process to significantly reduce forming induced stress. Advantages are reduced brittleness in material, increased flexibility and deformation retention. This stabilizes the gasket, resulting in reduced cylinder bore distortion and improved combustion seal fro the extreme cylinder pressures found in high compression, supercharged and turbocharged applications. A proprietary polymer coating ensures the micro-seal of engine coolant and oil fluids.brbrA typical MLS head gasket requires a smoother (30Ra) surface finish than composite head gaskets. Mr. Gasket’s proprietary polymer coating will seal a surface finish twice as rough (60Ra) as a typical MLS head gasket. For high performance street, drag race and oval track use.

Product Features:

Gasket bore – 4.060″ Thickness – .040″
Manufactured from 3-layer premium grade stainless steel and state of the art laser cutting
Optimized sealing embossments seals extreme cylinder pressure
Provides excellent stability and reduces cylinder bore distortion.
