Cruising to work yesterday and I suddenly heard a ticking noise. Was hoping it was an exhaust leak. Popped the hood and it was clearly coming from under the valve cover.

Ordered a set of Yella Terras....

glad it was that, and not having the valve drop into the cylinder.

sorry to hear though.

Clark, did you consider the T&D shaft mount rockers?

zz430camaro · 07-04-2020, 07:53 AM

Were those the same ones on your other motor? If so I guess they saw a lot of use.

Ouch that stinks. Which YT’s did you go with?

No, actually I just bought these from the ws6 store. They have heavy duty trunions. They have a few dyno pulls and 1500 street miles on them.

Ouch! How much spring force did they see at max lift?

Bo White · 07-04-2020, 05:42 PM

I'm going with these on my next build.

I was wondering the same, no price on them. I am sure they won't be cheap, I would probably go with the aluminum shaft ones.

I believe Ryan runs/ran those. Jesel and Crower seem to have good options too but for the price of the T&D shaft mount rockers it seems to be a pretty solid choice. I've considered them after busting one of my stock rockers last year. Thankfully haven't had any further issues though
