440 Roller Rockers

They're always great company! I have many friends that run their kits competitively .
 
Personally, I don't care if they are or aren't .. I run HS's on their hard chrome shafts. BUT, if I was going to use 440Source's roller rockers I'd sure as hell be asking them the question !!

Looks like Dan has picked up on the fact we are just trying to help.. I'm not a 440 Source hater, I've spent a fair amount of money with them.. But some of their products have known issues...
Okay,
Just placed my engine package order with 440. After talking with Mike, who was very helpful and knowledgeable, he did not recommend using their aluminum shaft bearing rocker set that was included in the engine package. So for the record,

So I went with their stainless steel roller tip shaft bushing set. He said they are made by the same people who make them for PRW.

Glad you got help. That, in turn, helps me.
 
I use HS rockers. My only complaint is they bleed a lot of oil. They also require hard-chrome shafts. I personally would not use any rocker that is not bronze bushed - I don't like aluminum or iron as the contact surface.

The heads you use will be a determining factor also !!
OBE but,Harland Sharps normally come with shafts. There’s two geometry versions of Harland Sharp rockers, one version works with iron heads, the other works with Eddy/stealth/Trick flow heads as these style heads will require a lot of screwing around to get the geometry right unless you specifically get rockers designed for these heads. I’m not aware of any other rocker brands that build the correct Eddy/TF/Stealth geometry into their rockers.

I have "Stealth" heads. If I'm not mistaken, they have the exact same dimensions as factory heads, even on the rocker shaft pedestals.

I see this set from Harlan Sharpe but the set is for aftermarket heads.
Big Block Mopar V8
Which one is for stock heads?

Might have to call and ask.
Website says Made in USA, which is a big plus

Those do look like a good product for certain! What’s up with the hold down bolts with a screw inside of them?

They are hold down studs with a nut on them. Highly recommended to get the right length ones for your heads.
 
Yeah, kinda odd the one stud appears to be to short... You'd think for a marketing photo they would get things right...
That, and do they go all the way down in heads.. with a roller and aluminum heads they can have a tendency to rip the threads out. Hughes addresses that in some of their packages. They drill and tap further.

With a roller cam, due to high spring pressure! Edelbrock uses helicoils, others do not?
 
Have to agree. I abused a set of Isky rockers like these from Mancini for years on a 440 nitrous motor. Zero issues.
I know people have used this type with no issues I’ve ever heard of, good price too. Are they bushed? And with a cam under .600 valve lift, is a roller tip really making more HP? I think the original type ones weren’t bushed, with no problems

The stealth pedestals are offset just like edelbrock heads. Pic of “E” style sharps in my stealth heads. I tried isky and crane irons, S70016K Harland’s, and PRW stainless rollers. Nothing gave a good contact pattern except the “E” style Harland’s: S70016KE.
