I have had the same Harland Sharp 1.65 for the last 11 years, and about 30,000 miles. Still going strong.

I just picked up some new scorpions from spotts. They seem pretty nice.

Ditto to what Scott says.
We sell them too.
Ran them on my street car for years and currently have them on Karen's 79 'ATI ProCharged' T/A with over a years use and daily driven.

Are the HS rockers aluminum, and, if so, what does everyone think about using steel instead if it is going to see a lot o' miles?

The nicest rockers I have seen are the Crower units. They are a high quality rocker that is very strong. I run a Norris stainless rocker on my 400. They are more widely known in the off shore boat racing engines. They are heavy and somewhat expensive but bullet proof.

The Harland and Scorpions look to be good bang for the buck rockers as well.

L8r,

Aaron

Scott, do you have an opinion on whether steel (such as the Crower mentioned above) will hold up better with lots of mileage?

I have used the Crower 1.6 full rollers for the past 4 years on a 400. They seem to be bullet proof. No Complaints

I've used several sets of Harlan Sharps, and they hold up great.

I used Norris stainless rockers one time, no problems except heavy. I have used serveral sets of Harland's and never had a problem.

I currently have HS 1.5s,1.65s, Norris steel 1.6s, Crower SS 1.8s on various motors. The HS have been on my E heads motor for several years and doing well. When comparing them all side by side the HS do have more bearing to trunnion freeplay than the Crowers or the Norris. My Norris have been on my RAIV motor and raced for 12 years and are around 20 years old. They look a little different than current rocker but as I said older date made. I do like their roller tip pin, pressed and a retainer clip, compared to just a swedged in pin.

The Crowers are by all means the strongest(by look and bearing size) and tightest of the bunch, but the most expensive.

I have only seen pictures of the Scorpions but they look good from pictures.

FWIW, my cylinder head specialist really likes the Scorpions, especially for the price.

Per his advice, I'm gonna use 1.65 Scorpions on my 535" engine.
