Scorpion Roller Rocker Arms for Bridge V8 Heads

I have not use this pedestal ones

I have used the Harland Sharp ones

I am a Harland Sharp Dealer if i can help if needed

I can't see that small of a bolt withstanding flex enough to make me feel confident these are durable.

Maybe drill those RR swivel center sections out and get different bolts? 

It's neat that now there is a replacement set for our beloved bridge setups though I'm scratching my head here WHY they didn't go 3/8" Studs.

Any way I guess I could contact scorpion and have Them punch a 3/8 hole in it, seeing they got the drill press there on site. 

A pedestal rocker design doesn't "flex" the bolt in operation unless (a) the bolt has lost preload or is otherwise loose or (b) rocker load exceeds bolt preload.   The bolts should only see the tensile load from the initial assembly preload (bolt torque).

Stud mounted rockers do flex the stud shank under cyclic bending and cyclic tension.   That's why a larger stud is needed and a generous fillet between shank and hex to improve fatigue strength.

Hope this helps, RD.

I did briefly view it last year, from all I did asking searching hunting etc, the efforts collectively on this topic is sparse.

Did not see enough momentum to have simple proper pro/con demonstration info about this what to do to make it work etc, such as the geometry, clearances fitments.

If I had a better place to do it would love to take it up and go thru the steps to see what actually is needed,  to adapt them (LR Towers & RA) for all the AMC guys and so we could have a reliable known system for our V8's.

LS parts setup has plenty advantages over the Scorpion RA parts.

The final version/combo of pieces is a factor also. 

LS Parts IMO wins out about all points.
