Rocker Arm in Buick Regal automobiles is a functional part of the valvetrain system; it helps in the conversion of the movement from pushrod to the intake and the exhaust valves. Usually made from stamped steel or aluminium, these parts translate the plunger's movement from the vertical to the downward force required to open the valves. For high-RPM engines, aluminium is used because of its low density whereas for diesel engines, cast iron or forged carbon steel is used. There are different types of rocker arms, including the roller rockers, that utilizes needle bearings to minimize the contact points between them thereby minimize wear and tear and increase efficiency of the rocker arms over other kinds. The rocker ratio of current engines stand between 1.5:1 to 1.8:1 and this affords higher camshaft lift which in turn raises performance level. Traditionally, such ratios as 1:1 were typical up to the 50s of the previous century. Larger diameter fulcrum bearings are also used in engines where higher RPMS are encountered to deal with the stresses required and increase the life of the part adding to the functionality of the Rocker Arm.
