The 5.7 and 6.1 liter Hemi full roller rockers arm kit took center stage in the display booth. Anodized in the familiar Harland Sharp orange, the rocker arms were mounted on a Hemi cylinder head for onlooker to get the full picture of these beauties.
Becker explained that these rocker arms had been getting noticed for their needle bearing fulcrums and the valve lash adjusters. Designed so that they would work with factory pushrods.
