Default Will this design roller rocker fit a 2005 5.3L ??

Can anyone say for sure if these will bolt directly onto a 5.3 liter engine? Thank you for your help. I tried searching some and didnt find anything definitive, so new thread.

I can't speak for the quality of the product, but yes. That is the correct application according to the seller's listing.

I run comp roller rockers. If I had to do it overagain I would have just used the stock rockers with the trunion upgrade. I actually almost switched back when I did my latest engine. I bought the trunion upgrade, and installed them in the rockers. I changed my mind at the last minute just because I had them.

I just wasnt sure if the rocker system on ls1 heads are the same as what comes on the 5.3 heads. Any reason why they may not be trust worthy?

I ran the Ebay sold pro comp non adjustable aluminum rockers in a 1.8 ratio and stock valve covers and I had to clearance the VC in a number of places to keep them from hitting. Those have adjuster screws that are significantly taller than the aluminum bodied rockers I got. I think you will need taller valve covers.

Ahh thanks for that info. Spacers or new covers def add to the complexity some and the expense. I think I will just wait
