Chevrolet Caprice Rocker Arm

The Rocker Arm is a key component in Chevrolet Caprice vehicles' engine's valvetrain as it helps in transferring motion from the pushrod to the intake as well as the exhaust valves. This is usually made of stamped steel or aluminum and it is the component that translates the up and down movement of the pushrod into the required down ward movement to lift the valves. For high RPM, aluminum is optimal suited because of lighter weight, while cast iron or forged carbon steel is preferred for diesel applications due to their strength. Depending on Chevrolet Caprice model, the car may use plain or hydraulic Rocker Arms, or roller Rocker Arms. Rolled or roller rockers depend on the fact that it incorporates needle bearings for lowering the friction and wear in contrast to the traditional rough metal contacting. The rocker ratio in these engines is typically between 1.5:1 to 1.8:1 which results to increased camshaft lift and overall enhanced efficiency of the engines. Other vehicles that see use of upgraded fulcrum bearings comprise high RPM Chevrolet Caprice engines with a view of facing up to the stress regime and resultant warranting of lasting.
