The Rocker Arm used in GMC Yukon automobiles is very significant in the engines valvetrain system as it helps convey movement from the pushrod to the intake and exhaust valves. Usually made from stamped steel or aluminum, these parts translate the up-down articulation of the pushrod into the downward force required to open the valves. In the applications with high rotational speed such as in automotive engines, aluminum is favored for weight considerations whereas cast iron or forged carbon-steel is employed in the diesel engines for power-providing construction. Different types of rocker arms including the roller rockers use needle bearings in a bid to eliminate friction and hence enhance durability. The rocker ratio which is standardly a minimum 1.5:1 to a maximum of 1.8:1 in the contemporary motors heightens cams lift subsequently enhancing performance. Previously, such ratios as 1:1 were typical up to the 1950s. The new fulcrum bearings are also used where the pressure is likely to build up, particularly in high revving engines, to provide additional strength and thus boost the efficiency of the rocker arm.
