Overview

Howards Cams Rocker Arm Pedestals

Howards Cams rocker arm pedestals are specialized mounting components used to secure aftermarket, full-roller rocker arms (often used in GM LS engines) to the cylinder head. They act as a stable pivot point, replacing the factory stands while retaining a direct bolt-on setup.

Additional details:

* Factory fitment: The pedestals allow performance roller rocker arms to be bolted down directly into the factory cylinder head using the original bolts
* Anti-rotation: Unlike stock pedestals that span the entire cylinder head, Howards pedestals are often individual cylindrical mounts. They use specially milled flats that engage with a link bar or siamesed tray to prevent the rocker arm from twisting, maintaining perfect alignment
* Zero lash adjustment: Similar to many factory setups, the pedestals are non-adjustable (meaning they use a set torque spec), making installation straightforward without the need to set or measure constant valve lash
* Durability: These pedestals allow upgraded, aggressive camshafts and higher-pressure valve springs to be used without putting undue stress on the valvetrain
* When are they used?: Howards Cams pedestals are extremely popular for street and race applications (such as GM Gen III/IV LS-series engines) where enthusiasts want to upgrade to full-roller rocker arms without machining the cylinder head to accept traditional adjustable studs or shaft-mount systems
