These rockers WILL GO through our Exclusive KillerCrate Rating process
Not all Rockers are created equal. GM Spec is 1.5:1 and after measuring hundreds, we found that some are just 1.25:1.
Change your rockers to our GM Performance Rated Rockers and get an average of 6hp more across the entire power curve because the valves will open as much as 15% more. More off the corner. More at the end of the straight away.
A rocker arm in your 602 engine takes a rotating cam lobe and turns it into an up and down motion that opens and closes the valves.
Here's how it works. As the cam comes around, the cam lobe pushes the lifter and pushrod up, which lifts the back side of the rocker arm. When the backside lifts, the other end of the rocker rotates to push down on the valve stem; compressing the spring. As the cam lobe rotates away, the rocker arm rotates back and the spring pressure closes the valve.
Rocker Arm Ratio determines how much power it can transfer to the valve stem. In a GM Crate, the GM Spec rocker arm ratio should be 1.5 to 1. Meaning that the rocker should move the valve 1.5 times the height of the cam lobe which is 0.435 for intake and 0.460 for exhaust. Since the intake is smaller to start with, the lift is critical.
If you have a crummy rocker arm - your Valve will open significantly less than it should. Less "Valve opening" on an intake valve means less power. Therefore you want your best rockers on your intake valves.
We use a Special Rocker Rating Machine we created to measure all your rockers. Rockers are rated as Green, Yellow or Red in our computer.
Green are the best and go on Intake Valves. Yellow are rated for Exhaust Valves and Red are really not good enough to use.
The Packaging you will receive are sorted and marked as Intake and Exhaust.
DOES NOT COME WITH ROCKER BALLS
Crate racing was intended to level the playing field. However, after several Track Championships and winning 7 out of 14 Races at Devils Bowl in 2016, we can tell you that Not all 602 circle track Crate Engines for Pro Stock, Thundertrucks, Sportsman Modifieds and other types of crate racing are created equal. If you want to run up front - there are a few secrets that you need to know.
With the proper break-in technique and a little magic - your motor WILL create MORE LEGAL horsepower and last longer. The correct distributor phasing, timing marks, race-prepped carburetor, carb spacer and better Valve Springs, Rated Rockers can all significantly improve performance.
