Can roller rocker arms actually help add horsepower? The mechanically savvy will likely consider that question and say: “If you have more lift, and open the valves more, then you’ll make more power.

Any gearhead worth his or her salt knows that whether it's a SOHC, DOHC, or OHV engine, the camshaft is considered the brain of a four-cycle internal combustion power plant. The camshaft's profile ...

The rocker arm employs the use of a fulcrum or pivot to increase the cam lift by a given ratio. That increase in lift is the result of moving the pushrod pivot point closer to the fulcrum. That ...

An engine's power production is directly proportional to its air-processing capacity. Internal-combustion engines consume both fuel and air, but the air is far more difficult to ingest than the fuel.

When trying to decide between two camshafts for an engine that will spend a majority of its life operating at low-to-moderate rpm on the street, it's better to err on the side of caution. That means ...

The debate over the optimum rocker arm ratio has dragged on since the invention of the pushrod V-8. Even though Chevrolet made the decision easy for us when it engineered the small-block to run around ...
