The PRO-SHAFT®
F6 Series NASCAR rocker arms for the Ford 351 "Yates" head, break all the rules and establish
new ones. Why? Ford's biggest mistake in valve train, was adapting the
compound geometry Cleveland head, with its staggered valve array to a
289/302 Windsor style block with in-line lifters. The problem with this,
as with their 429/460 engine which has similar style heads, is that the
exhaust pushrods lay over an additional 5 degrees from the intake's.
The rocker arms are of course laid over on the head, but the
misalignment created by the pushrod at the lifter is unnecessary. Jim
Miller solved this in 1995, with his Patent Pending (#1) "stretched
rocker"
geometry, that make the exhaust rocker longer
so the pushrod can remain as close to "in-line" with the tappet as
possible. The intake rocker is also stretched as needed to keep its
pushrods in line with the tappet. The Patent Pending (#2) rocker shafts
are Siamese mounted, to allow individual movement for varying ratios, another Patent Pending
(#3) innovation, and are secured with 1/2" STUDS (not 5/16, 3/8
or even 7/16"). As with all PRO-SHAFT®
(and PRO-STUD™) systems, the rocker bodies employ Alcoa 7150-T7, the
same alloy used in Boeing's "777", and incorporate the Patent Pending
(#4) G-Plane™ rocker face for establishing precise Installed
Geometry with the Valve. The traditional Miller
I-Beam
rocker body with Twin-Rib beam is utilized to make this the strongest,
lightest, and most rigid, lowest moment of inertia aluminum roller tip
rocker arm money can buy. Special Order Only.

IN-LINE Machined from
Miller's exclusive, ALCOA 7150-T7 Billet Extrusion (33% stronger than
7075); the grain runs length-wise, adding 6x fatigue resistance over
conventional "cross-grain" SILHOUETTE extrusions used by
other "top" rocker arm manufacturers.
This is the ultimate in
STAND Mounted rocker arms. The MILLER MID-LIFT STAND Mount rockers utilize
Jim Miller's exclusive 5/8" SHAFTS; full compliment
Torrington bearings, Torrington Needle THRUST Bearings; DUAL-RIB Support
Beam and of course Dual, Patent Pending G-Plane™ Measuring faces for direct
reference to the valve spring retainer for ultimate precision on INSTALLED
geometry.
