Default Roller Rockers
Which roller rockers should I go for? I already have Gold Crane series Rockers. But I have been recommended to go for Platinum Yella Terra?
I am building a new strocker holden 383, Solid roller cam, TP single plane.

Is there a difference in these Roller Rockers!


cheers

Hes talking about the heads , not the Block , unless its a roller.! I know Crane aint the best but surely it wouldnt be worth spending another $1000 on Platinums ?

If your going to run it hard and if its a roller I would put the plats' on it. Either way the Crane gold is a reasonable rocker. If I ran studs and guide plates I'd put an alternate ratio rocker on it. oooo secrets!

If you buy Crower rockers they do -8 sets so you can buy 8 of just about any rocker.

The heads are alloy yella terra -3. Just not sure if I must or its worth running platinum rockers and guides? If I already have crane gold series and HDT guides. I am open to all suggestions and reasons?

Already spending $16000 - $20 000 on the engine if I have to spend alittle more to make it bullet proof well then what can we do?

You dont need guides, they are shaft based so they do not pivot. I have a set of Platinum YT5020 that will fit your Dash-3's for $700. PM me.
