I believe end support stands help most. By Dave Shoe - 03/27/2002 1:12:01 PM; IP 12.2.11.131 Iron or steel rockershaft pedestals are more rigid than stock pedestals will certainly reduce flex and stress on the rockershaft, but aluminum end support stands do seem to get to the core of the flex issue and transfer the stress away from the shaft. The issue not only relates to prevention of broken shafts, end supports also help keep the valve action more precise when the cam ramp rates increase and spring pressures rise beyond stock. End supports help with adjustable as well as non-adjustable rockers. Any cam warmer than a CJ can benefit from replacement of the stock aluminum pedestals on the ends of the rockershafts. The stocl aluminum pedestals in the center positions are not stressed as highly as the ones in the end position, so replacement of the center ones become critical when more radical cams are installed.
