Part 3 Unboxing Yella Terra Ultralight Rocker Arms

I have hundreds (thousands?) of video notes of me working on my truck build. I'm trying to organize them into videos I can share on YouTube. Disclaimer these are my NOTES so do your own research when you build your engine and work on your vehicle.

I did the trunion rebuild kit that's all too popular. There's a few varieties. I didn't realize that at the time. I bought the least expensive thinking it was the only rebuild it. Then I installed short throw lifters with a very TIGHT preload spec. After 12,000 miles ALL my preload was gone. The bronze bushings had egg shelled out.

I kind of wondered about this when I bought the bronze kit but seems everybody was doing that. The bronze bushing wears out on them. Depending on the kit you use, it could be after a few thousand miles in my case or tens of thousands of miles. However, it's a perishable item.

I started looking at rocker arm kits. Previously I used Comp Cams full roller rockers on my LT1 build. They worked great. However, I wasn't a bit reluctant to pull the trigger as they stuff had gotten so pricey!

There were many other new names I'm not familiar with. Then I called Roger Vinci. He's a valvetrain engineer. His family has been designing valvetrain parts since 1960? basically for a long time.

He told me about these he helped design. They're Yella Terra. I read his white paper on rocker arms. They are more expensive than the Comp Cams I was looking at but you get MUCH more for your money. These are shaft mount rockers, and SUPER I mean SUPER DUPER light weight.

Here's me opening the box and seeing what's inside. VERY impressed!

He can even build you stuff per your spec. Really cool!!
