I couldn't be happier with the roller rockers. The Harland Sharp rockers are top quality in materials and workman ship. What really sold me on these is how easy they were to install. I have very little experience at this kind of work but had no trouble with the installation. I talked to a few guys that have been running these for a couple years with no problems at all. After I put them in the wife came out in the garage and asked what I'd done to the truck "it sounds like a hot rod". They gave the exhaust a different tone that sounds really good. I've recommended these to some of the truck guys I know, because, they are a good upgrade for performance. This is really good stuff or I wouldn't send this.

The HS rollers have been installed on the new motor. Simple to install and easy to adjust. Very happy with the quality and performance might buy the another set of 1.7s for the future.

I'm running the 1.6 Adjustable Harland Sharp rockers on my 2000 Dodge Dakota R/T with a 5.9L 360. soon they will be on my supercharged 6.7L 408. On the 360, I noticed a night and day difference over stock rockers. Low and mid range RPMS you could definitely feel the difference. Upper RPMS you better hold on because that's where most of the power came in. These were well worth the money invested in them! Upon receiving them the construction of them was outstanding. They looked and felt strong. The adjuster over the pushrod instead of fulcrum made them stand out against the rest. They are very easy to adjust the lash on them as well. They bolt in just like stock rockers but perform 100 times better. Anytime I have a friend wanting rockers, I send them straight to Harland Sharp.


            Only the best!

Being the Original Owner of the first set of Harland Sharp Roller Rockers for Dodge Magnum Engines, I feel these rockers Surpass Quality and Performance Standards only wished by other competitors. I installed the very first Prototype Set of S70037 Dodge Magnum Rockers back in 1999. They installed easily with simple tools and performed flawlessly for the last 108,000 miles. Teamed with custom ported RT heads, special grind Cam and a 150 shot of Nitrous, my Harland Sharp rockers allow me to surprise many a hot rodder and make 11 second runs at the track. I highly recommend these products to all. My many thanks to Harland Sharp for taking on the challenge and supplying a great product !!

When I had decided to look into purchasing a set of roller rockers, I really didn't know what company to go with. When I came across Harland Sharp I instantly liked the rocker they had to offer for my 2000 Dakota R/T. They were located close to me, the rockers were made in the U.S.A. and they had an option for a non adjustable rocker. I called a few suppliers and talked to some people that had them on their trucks and I got nothing but good responses about them. I purchased a set and the installation was a snap. I did have a couple of questions and when I called their customer service they were very helpful in working me through my problem. After they were installed I noticed a very nice improvement in horsepower and torque. At the track I gained an average of 3 tenths in the quarter mile. I am very pleased with the results of the rockers. Thanks for a GREAT product!!

Sincerely,
Jeff McCartney

After distributing many Harland Sharp products over the years, I have been able to observe the Quality of product and Dedication to Customer Service very closely. Their Professionalism and Support to the customer is " Outstanding". I would highly recommend Harland Sharp Products to anyone serious about reaching their performance objectives.

I just wanted to thank you guys for making a product that will hold up when other items fail. As you can see from the rocker a piece of the head is still treaded on the bolt, they went through a serious stress test. The car they were installed on was a stock bottom end LS1 with aftermarket heads/cam and supporting bolt-ons putting out 420 rwhp.

Props To Harland Sharp
First off, I need to give props to a automotive performance company that manufactures a product which some of this board's sponsors sell. With the ETP heads I'm installing, rocker arm options are somewhat limited, with high-end units like Jesel and T&D offering ETP-compatible valve train components. The only other options I found were to use either an OEM LS2 rocker set or go with a set of Harland Sharps. Doing some research, I called Harland Sharp's Tech # and spoke with Randy Becker Jr., Told him the heads I am using. He explained in concise detail (without going too technical on me) what my options were with their product and even discussed and praised the LS2 rockers, acknowledging they were a viable option. We talked for a good half hour or so. I called back the next day with a few other questions. They were answered and I made a decision to go with the HS adjustables. He offered to drop ship a set from their plant, but admitted I'd be better off purchasing them from one of their distributors since they typically sell them for less than what he could.
Now, with the different valve train geometry of the ETPs, the stock HS rocker pedestals are too short to work. Randy
offers to send me two different sized pedestals, assuring me that one of them will work. All I needed to do was send
the stock pedestals back to him. Cost? Try $0, only my cost to ship back the original pedestals. That ended up being
a whopping $4.25. Well with a bit of luck, I located a brand new set from a guy on another forum who lives in Florida
and the price was a crazy good deal. Send Randy the standard pedestals, an email and a tracking #. He replies, sending
out both sets of modified ETP-specific pedestals and longer mounting bolts....Via 2nd Day Air!!!!.....Cost? $0. They
arrive Monday. Head up to TEAM ITALY'S headquarters where HACK and I proceed to swap out the test rockers for the
HS adjustables and he immediately decides to go with the taller of the two pedestals sent. And, well whatdaya know???
The valve train geometry, lash, preload and other measurements and settings are spot on. Better yet, we get to use the
original 8.100 push rods that Grumpy Ed Curtis sent (he claims skill......I say luck) Drop a pinch of clay on #1 piston and
check intake PTV clearance. Niiiiiice. Then exhaust PTV clearance. Again, perfecto.
After measurements and allowance for head gasket crush, there's 0.260 room for "future plans" The other set of
pedestals are on their way back to Randy and Harland Sharp. Another $4.25 spent. Ouch........lol J/K
Well let me tell everyone - Without a doubt, the level of both technical and customer service displayed by Randy at HS
was outstanding. He took quite a bit of time out of his day to assist me with this issue. And while time, the dyno and
ultimately the track will determine whether this project will be a success, regardless,
BIG PROPS need to go out to Harland Sharp and Randy Becker, Jr. Emails go out tomorrow to his direct report and the company's President. Praise loudly in public.
Best regards,

To my Turbo Buick friends,

Today is Friday...and I am happy...because of Harland & Sharp's customer service!!

On Wed, as I was changing out the noisy Comp Cam lifters to replace with Morels, I found a galled thread on one of my new H&S roller rocker arms. Now they are not EXACTLY new....I bought them from a guy on this site late last year...he said they were nearly new or maybe even unused. He sent them to my engine builder, who installed them and gave me the engine late last year. I was out of the country for a month and had a "no start when hot issue" that I had a heck of a time fixing...and am just now able to replace the lifters. So you can see that these aren't exactly new, and that they were not purchased from H&S by me.

I explained all this to Randy Jr and despite me not buying them from him, and the uncertainty around what had caused this problem, he never hesitated in advising to send it in for a warranty examination. When I called I was hoping I could just buy one lever....never dreamed I'd get this response!!

So yesterday I sent it to them...and today (Friday) Randy Jr called to tell me that the problem was due to a quality issue with the adjusting screw, that he had
fixed the lever, and will return it with a new adjusting screw to me....all at no charge!! He even offered to send me a brand new lever if I was uncomfortable
with a "fixed" lever. IMO there is no need for that when I got a stand up guy telling me that my lever is as good as new.

Absolutely Excellent Customer Service by H&S that I want to share.

Regards,
Bob Kolhouse

To all of you at Custom Speed Parts,

I called you a couple of days ago to ask questions to help me decide between buying your aluminum rockers and Comps stainless rockers. I actually called Comp first but could not get through. I think I talked to Randy who assured me that Comps were also good rockers, but before I hung up with him I knew I was buying Harland Sharp rockers. I don’t mean to get all sappy, but the feeling it gave me talking to Randy was great. I can’t think of any time I’ve talked to a manufacturer and got this kind of service. Knowing your parts are completely manufactured in the US made my decision even that much easier when there is so much doubt as to where parts are being manufactured. I think today more than ever a company like yours is what the United States needs. I only wish you manufactured more. Well I placed my order with Summit for S2001 – haven’t got them yet but I’m already a happy customer.
I wish you the best,
Bill Huard

I would like to take the time to thank Harland Sharp for your Champion Quality parts and service. I did not one time this year have any trouble with my valve train, in fact I never even took off the valve covers sense putting the motor together in Feb of 2006. I race in the Street Stang Class which is a 12.50 index so consistency is very important for winning races. That has to say a lot for the quality of parts that you produce out of your shop. I also would like to thank you for supporting FFW and the Contingency Program in 2006 and hope to see you in 2007. I am sending you season pictures for 2006.

Thank you again

Harland Sharp has superior design. The ease of installing them, their lightweight, yet sturdy design, and their reliability made them the easy choice. Whenever Harland Sharp is mentioned, you know you are dealing with quality. Improved mileage, horsepower, track times, and daily driving are just a few examples of the benefits of Harland Sharp. I'm glad they were part of the process of my dream engine in my dream truck.

Thank You Harland Sharp.

The Harland Sharp Roller Rockers were a very good improvement on my truck and made a noticeable difference in power. It is a bit scary at first to tear into your motor but once I got going the install was easy. Overall, I am very happy with the performance and installation. The HS rockers have been installed for about 35,000 miles now with no problems.


    Thanks,
    Don Mann

I upgraded from the stock stamped steel 1.6 ratio rockers to aluminum roller tip 1.7 ratio shaft mounted rockers from Harland Sharp. Just looking at the rockers, I was impressed with their quality. I like the shaft mounted design that works well with many of my other stock components. Install was very easy, and the instructions I received for installation were clear and concise. John Mercedes at Southeast R/T went above and beyond to provide me the information I needed to both purchase and install Harland Sharp rockers. They provided noticeable improvements in power on my '99 Dodge Ram 4x4, 5.2 liter 318 V8. The performance increase gained from these rockers is noticeable when I am daily driving, towing, or off-roading. I would recommend these to anyone who is looking to upgrade their stock rocker arms to something better.

I am very pleased with my HS 1.7 roller rockers for the Dodge Magnum engines, not only do they clear the stock valve covers, sound just as quiet if not smoother than the factory rockers, and an affordable cost, but the installation was a breeze. All you have to do is take your valve covers off, unbolt the old rockers and bolt on the new HS ones. If you have been in an engine before you can accomplish this within 1/2 Hour to 1 hour, and even if you are new and have never done anything like this before 2-3 hours is all that is needed. There are often times I forget that I even have them installed, except when my foot goes to the floor and my 318 feels like a 360. My hat goes off to you John and your entire team at Harland Sharp for such a great product, great service and so much help to the Mopar community. You guys really know what you're doing. 2000 Dodge ram 318 Magnum 125,000 miles (70,000 miles are on my trouble free HS rockers).
Thanks
Justin Mathes

I love my 1.7 non adjustable roller rockers from Harland Sharp. It really is as easy as removing the the old rockers, and bolting in the new ones. I torque them down to specs, throw on the valve covers and hit the streets. I've had them on for about 30,000 miles with trouble free operation. Top notch quality at a great price!
Jacob Morales

I love the Harland Sharp Rockers ! They look great are very easy to install compared to other brands. Not only are they extremely strong in construction but their unique Shaft Design saves the additional expense buying added parts required by the other manufacturers costing more.
Glen Renzoni

I recently received a set of big block Chevy rocker arms that I had returned for freshen up. The service was prompt and the rocker arms looked great! I was surprised by the No Charge Invoice. These rocker arms were serviced last winter and one failed in October. Thank You for standing behind your product, a rare occurrence these days.
Once again Thanks for your support.
