Cadillac Eldorado Rocker Arm

Rocker Arm is an important part of the Cadillac Eldorado cars used in the valvetrain system as a means of transmitting motion from the pushrod to the intake as well as the exhaust valves. Usually made of stamped steel or aluminum these reciprocating parts translate up and down stroke of the push rods into the required amount of force needed to actuate the valves. Aluminium is suitable for use in engines used at high RPM because of its lightweight nature while cast iron or forged carbon steel is used in diesel engines for their strength. There are many types of rocker arms in use today, including roller rockers; these use needle bearings in order to cut down on friction and wear, and hence provide better performance than older models. The rocker ratio ranging from 1.5:1 to 1.8:1 in the advanced engines increases the lift of the camshaft for higher efficiency of the engine. Newer fulcrum bearings are also used in high RPM engines to deal with excessive stress as well as to enhance the general reliability.

Each OEM Cadillac Eldorado Rocker Arm we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
