Factory Rocker Arm, 81-83 280ZX Turbo

Professionally Refurbished Alternative:
As a result of Nissan's recent drastic price increases on these factory rocker arms, we spent significant time searching for an alternative option that is suitable for use in L6 engines, will not put valve train components at risk, and is also cost effective. We were able to find such a supplier who can meet all of our strict criteria at a reasonable price whom we already have complete confidence in their capabilities. As such, we are proud to now offer Professionally Refurbished Rocker Arms that are serviced by none other than famed engine builder Rebello Racing! See 10-5171R in Related Items for more details.

Includes:

• (1) Rocker Arm

Description:
Rocker arms should be replaced any time an engine is rebuilt or when a new camshaft (stock or performance) is installed. Used rocker arms develop a wear pattern or angle which will exert itself right into your new cam. This is a genuine, original equipment (OEM) replacement, which uses multi-piece construction*. Sold individually; 12 required per car.

Why Insist On Factory Nissan Rocker Arms?
Factory rocker arms are manufactured in multiple pieces, then assembled as a final step of construction. The cam lobe wipe pad is made separately, and differently, from the arm. We have seen and tested several types of rocker arms over the years, and most aftermarket versions have come up short by comparison, especially when a one piece construction is used. There have even been cases where using the single-piece design has led to damaged valve train components. Whenever possible, we recommend using factory Nissan rocker arms such as these.

Supercessions:
This part number is 'superceded'. Most of our supercessions originated with Nissan. A part made for a Z31, for instance, may actually be the same as the part made for the Z32, but it was given a different number. Nissan would then later supercede the number, so that if you ordered the part number for the Z32, what you would actually get is the original part number for the Z31 (or vice-versa), as they are the same part. Other times, supercessions can exist between different parts on the same car, as is often the case with hardware of the same size. These supercessions were Nissan decisions, where replacing the 'superceded from' part with the 'superceded to' part results in identical performance. The vast majority of them are simple numbering changes, where the parts are literally identical. In some cases, the two parts are identical in fit and function, but the finish is slightly different, or the non-critical overall dimensions are slightly different (like one starter housing being '' shorter than the other on the non-attached side). They do not affect the function of the part, and in many cases, the 'superceded-to' part improves upon the 'superceded-from' part.
