Speedway Motors 550806 Details

Add positive retention to your rocker arms with this complete stud pinning kit. Rocker stud pins are cheap insurance for race engines that require stock cylinder heads, or for mild street engines built on a budget.

Most factory cylinder heads utlilize press-fit rocker arm studs, which can pull out under certain conditions. Stiffer valve springs, high-lift camshafts, high engine RPM, and engine overheating all contribute to stud failure. These roll pins lock each stud in place, preventing them from rotating or loosening.

Works with all engines using pressed-in rocker arm studs. Note: Not for engines that use hollow studs, such as early Pontiac V8s, that have through-stud oiling for the rocker arms.

  • Keeps press-in rocker arm studs from pulling out
  • Easy upgrade for stock heads
  • Cheap insurance when using stiffer springs or high lift cams
  • Effective upgrade that's been used by racers for decades
  • Can be installed without removing heads from engine
  • Includes (16) roll pins and (1) 5/32" drill bit

they are easy to install you dont even have to pull the heads to install as long as you use a shop vac to catch shavings any body could use this product and alot cheaper than screw in studs unless you are building a massive thumper

It is what I expected

It is a complete set of roll pins and a proper bit, no instructions so if this is your first time you may want to YouTube it. The pins are large and single roll, I wouldn't personally recommend them on narrow guide bosses like a vortec etc.

But supply with kit is not hard enough to cut through the studs. Had to buy a cobalt bit to drill through the studs.

I have an automotive machine shop and had a customer that was running a bigger camshaft than stock and didn't want the expense of machining for screw in rocker arm studs so I suggested this as an alternative and a little extra insurance.

This is the answer if you use any cam and springs other than stock with pressed in studs. Get a few extra bits the same size as the one in the kit because you will usually break the one in the kit before you finish drilling all eight.

Great Product.
