Yella Terra YT6685 Chevrolet V8 Ls3/Ls9/Lsa/L98 Ultralite 8.0mm Rockers, Ratio 1.85:1

*GMH OEM ROCKER ARM FAILURES*

Motoring (2017) reported “Holden will repair the 6.2-litre LS3 engine in the final 2000 or so V8 Commodores built this year following reports of engine noise and even failure in cars with as little as 50km on the clock”. 

The problem has been traced to a faulty batch of inlet rocker arms causing rough idle or misfiring of the engine. Rocker arms have fractured at the nose in some instances; wreaking havoc on the valve and cylinder.

Take the bull by the horns and upgrade from your already wear inducing solid/non-roller tip OEM rockers.

Our 8mm Ultralite design can be fitted in ~1 hour and at a fraction of the cost of major rebuilds associated with faulty OEM rocker arm failure. No machining required, fits under standard rocker covers.

Steer clear of cheap “fix” trunnion upgrades, which fail to address the shortcomings of OEM rocker arms.

Ultralite

Yella Terra’s exclusive Ultralite rocker arm, shaft and pedestal system offers 50% less nose weight than the factory rocker system, the result being greater RPM potential without compromising strength or durability. The perfect low-maintenance substitute for factory rocker arms which utilise problematic cage-less bearings, solid non-roller tips and heavy steel bodies.

Yella Terra Ultralite is ideal for high revving street applications when coupled with factory/lightweight aftermarket springs. Manufactured and assembled in Australia using the highest quality materials and componentry consistent with those found in our Platinum race series.

Our wide range of true ratios allows you to achieve high lift without relying solely on your camshaft… a trend many engine builders and racers alike are adopting to relieve the inertia on lifters and pushrods generated by aggressive and often violent ramp rates required to make big lift.

Don't fall victim to bearing/trunnion upgrades which only address half the shortcomings of OEM rockers.

Why Choose Ultralite?

• Built to withstand 400lbs* max open spring pressure
• Oversize full-complement caged bearings designed for oscillating (rocking) loads, paired with oversize precision ground trunnions to reduce friction.
• Intricately balanced lightweight arms ensuring vital valvetrain stability - focusing attention on the harmony of the entire engine. 50% less oscillating nose weight eliminates valve float in upper RPM range allowing for higher rev ceiling.
• Extruded from aircraft grade aluminium, perfect for dissipating excess top-end heat.
• Proven bolt-on shaft mount design that mounts both inlet/exhaust to common shaft, effectively increasing footprint and clamp load twofold without any further cylinder head modification.
• Various ratios available, catering for every camshaft grind. High ratios allow for additional lift on stock and aftermarket camshafts.
• Chrome moly steel hardened and ground roller tips of generous diameter (positively retained by internal circlip) preventing abrasion of valve tips and guides commonly seen with non-roller tip rockers. Allows for smoother, quieter operation. Maintains lash and reduces necessary and tedious engine maintenance.
