Valve train technology leader introduces new premium trunnion upgrade for GM LS rocker arms to optimize both performance & durability
There's no denying that the GM LS engine platform has proven itself as a performer. The valve train is no different, with an improved design that makes for a perfect combination of power and durability to complement the impressive cathedral port cylinder head design. The rocker arm design features a lightweight, yet stiff rocker body that is strong enough for most applications. However, when it comes to high performance racing applications, high rpm and high valve spring pressures can put the factory rocker arm's trunnion under intolerable stress.
Enter COMP Cams with a new LS rocker arm retro-fit trunnion kit that replaces the cageless, loose OEM needle bearings and powdered metal trunnion with a premium 8620 steel alloy trunnion and caged roller bearings for added durability. The new design from COMP Cams utilizes caged roller bearings that greatly reduce the possibility of the bearing failure experienced with stock LS needle bearings, which can send loose needles throughout the engine upon failure.
Perfect for drag and circle track racing applications that mandate the use of stock engine components, this performance rocker arm modification is a "must have" upgrade for your LS factory rocker arms. As proof of success, for the last two years this rocker arm trunnion upgrade has been tested and performance-proven in the NASCAR GM LS spec engine series.
