Note: Universal-fit sets available for most American-made vehicles (no imports).

ARP: Perma-Loc® Rocker Arm Adjusters

David Ayers Leave a comment
Use This Post Clip for Email

Readjusting the locker arms on your performance engine just got a lot less irritating. ARP’s patented Perma-Loc® adjuster is the first “poly lock” on the market that you don’t have to continually tighten. Perma-Loc® achieves this feat in a few ways.

First, the adjuster body is heat-treated all the way through—not just case-hardened—eliminating the thread “movement” common to other products.

Second, the threads are machined perpendicular to the bottom of the adjuster, so it seats evenly and applies pressure in 360 degrees.

Last, the set screw is machined flush on the bottom (not pointed), producing optimal contact on the rocker arm stud.

Perma-Loc® is also easy to use: ARP designed the compact 12-point head to hold your wrench in position while you lock the set screw with an Allen wrench—no special adjusting tools necessary.

Features

  • First “poly lock” on the market you don’t have to continually tighten
  • Heat-treated 8740 alloy chromoly steel achieves 190,000-psi tensile strength.
  • Bottom machined perpendicular to the threads
  • Threads precision-machined for maximum engagement
  • Locking set screw ground flush with the rocker arm stud
  • 12-point head holds the wrench to eliminate the need for special adjusting tools
  • Patent #5,323,741

Put down the rubber mallet and do the job the right way. Because LS main caps have very tight tolerances, they cannot be removed by simply grabbing and pulling on them. Uniform pressure from both sides is the only way to complete the maneuver correctly. The handy 67485 LS main cap remover tool from PROFORM seats itself on the engine block and easily and evenly pulls the main cap upward by way of mechanical advantage. Heavy-duty aluminum tool is engineered for years of use. Sold singly.

Features

  • Pro Series model for GM LS engines.
  • Evenly pulls up on main cap for safe, easy, efficient removal
  • Billet aluminum construction with black anodized finish
  • Sold individually
