Update: Relating to the bronze bushing version of these rocker arms, I was informed that the bronze bushing versions are stronger and more stable but they need to be serviced much more often when compared to the needle bearing type.
Today we will be looking at a set of upgraded rocker arms from the guys over at PRW Industries. These rockers are rated at the same rocker ratio as the factory rocker arms but have an upgraded body that is overall stronger to prevent breakage but also to prevent deflection in the valve train. This set of rockers are going to be installed in the turbo 4.8 LS that is currently in my 1975 dodge w100 4x4 truck. The current rockers in my LS are the factory rockers with regular trunions. Installing these rockers will allow my truck to rev out more safely and stable up towards 7000 rpm or more.

Today we are going over the sad sad story of how I blew up my engine on the dyno last year while getting my turbo carbureted ls ready to head across the country to the No Name Nationals. My carbureted turbo ls was a victim of failed valve train hardware and had to be redone not once, but twice. In order to prevent things like this from happening we will be installing this set of rocker pedestals by PRW Industries into my turbo LS along with the trunion upgraded rocker arms themselves. Engine valve train is one of those things that does not get too much attention because after the engine is put back together, you can't really see or feel the performance gained. After seeing first hand how dangerous worn out valve train can be, I am here to warn you all to be careful yourselves when putting together your own engines at home. Make sure to check out PRW and their PRW rocker arms! They have everything from mopar, chevy, ford and even some imports. Their most popular by far are their LS rocker arms so check them out!
