Is there anything I can do with a Lunati Roller Rocker that is very stiff at the fulcrum? I've soaked it in oil over night and it's still EXTREMELY stiff. Thanks.

If it's new, why not return it?

Soak in PB Blaster, I bet it will work.

PB Blaster is a penatrating oil..kinda like WD40 but better..

I would carefully inspect all the rockers for resistance to movement. Contact Lunati, they might be able to rebuild them for you.

Be carefull- sounds like your very close to bending valves. graemlins/sad.gif

figured it out. The bearing had "shifted" outward on one side of the rocker and the snap ring was binding against it. So, I took off the snap ring, got a socket that fit around the bearing and used that special tool we all have (BFH:D ) and presto, it's fixed! Thanks guys.
