Slant 6 rocker arm metalurgy

StrokerScamp said

I don't know any more about them than yall do. I called them last year and they said they had 1.6 non rollers for the slant for like 300 or so. They didn't say at the time they were reworked though, but that makes sense. Bill, the rockers are some kinda stamped steel, so I see nothing that would make them non weldable. I find it strange that the company has had these offered for a while now and no one really knows anything about them. That's a big red flag to me.

I called them Thursday morning and they told me that they were out of the 1.6:1 rockers because they had run out of the type of rockers that they could modify for a 1.6:1 ratio. I don't know what those rockers were... but he said they had true (modified) 1.5:1 rockers for sale.

He was not sure when the 1.6's would be available... if ever.

But he was friendly and quite forthcoming with all he told me, and was aware of the very real market for /6 rockers, particularly the hi (1.6:1) ratio units.

If anyone REALLY wants to call him, I'd advise you to go ahead and do it; he's approachable, and very easy to talk to. He won't talk down to you...

I was glad I called.
