rockers

Rockers are individual components in an engine’s valve train that control the opening and closing of engine valves. They transfer motion from the camshaft to the valves, allowing fuel and air in and exhaust out. Typically made of metal, they pivot or slide to push the valves open at precise times, ensuring efficient engine operation. Properly functioning rockers are essential for optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emission control. They are part of the internal mechanisms that keep an engine running smoothly and are often adjustable for tuning purposes in performance engines.
