NEW CHROME MOLY ROCKER SHAFT WITH DLC COATING FOR HEMI: ELIMINATES DEFLECTION WORRIES, INTRODUCES FIRST COST-EFFECTIVE SHAFT OF ITS KIND
Written by Moore Good Ink
Warren, Michigan: Trend Performance unveils a new rocker shaft for 5.7L and 6.1L high-performance Hemi engines. Its advantages are strength, reduced friction, and affordability. The shafts will be sold through Livernois Motorsports of Dearborn Heights, Michigan.
Created to overcome deflection and to improve valve-train stability when used in conjunction with high-performance camshafts and valve train, Trend produces this new shaft from thick-wall 4130 chrome molybdenum, subjects it to two heat treatments-through-hardening and nitriding-and finally applies a DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating.
The nitriding process not only contributes a tough surface skin but also produces the ideal surface for the application of the DLC coating. The DLC coating provides increased wear-resistance and reduced co-efficient of friction. The 4130 chrome molybdenum material is selected not only for its strength and excellent heat-treatment properties but also can acquire a fine surface finish of .5 micro inches (Ra-roughness average).
With a diameter and length of .865in and 19.3125in respectively, the new shaft directly replaces the original (contained within the Mopar rocker assembly, Part Number 053021574AA)
Obviously, this new Trend shaft is equipped with all the correct mounting holes, requisite lubricating holes, and freeze plugs installed in the ends. Trend believes it to be the finest most affordable shaft of its kind.
