Keep your Duramax’s valvetrain consistently oiled and running smooth! Stock rocker arm shafts stop oiling as the rocker arms open. This lack of lubrication can cause friction, heat, and excessive wear that is amplified in performance applications. Avoid wear and tear and failure altogether with the XDP Rocker Arm Shafts!  

Why Upgrade to XDP Rocker Arm Shafts?

The XDP Rocker Arm Shafts feature an improved design, with oil passages with a unique groove that provides consistent oiling throughout the range of motion of the rocker arm.

XDP Rocker Arm Shafts are constructed with modified end caps, using a threaded pipe plug as opposed to the stock freeze plug. This change in end caps allows access when cleaning, inspecting, and hot tanking during an engine rebuild. For additional strength, the XD385 is CNC machined from 4130 Chromoly steel and features a heavy-duty .250″ wall thickness. The hardened Chromoly aids in resisting wear and provides extreme durability.
