Rocker Arm & Lifter Kit
3.2L / 3.6L Pentastar
PART # CP203
3.2L / 3.6L Pentastar
PART # CP203
CP203 fits select Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep Pentastar applications. Use the vehicle selector or open the Vehicle Fitments section to check compatibility before ordering. Confirm the OE part numbers before ordering.
If your factory rocker arms are held to the lifters by a metal retaining clip, your engine uses the revised valvetrain and CP203 will not fit.
Both JK and JL generations were sold for 2018. For Wrangler applications, this kit fits 2012–2018 Wrangler JK and Wrangler Unlimited JK models with the 3.6L engine only. Confirm your generation before ordering.
Retaining clips are not included and are not sold separately.
A ticking Pentastar is trying to tell you something. On the 3.2L and 3.6L Pentastar V6, the roller bearings inside the factory rocker arms are one of the engine's best-known weak points.
When a roller wears or seizes, it doesn't just get noisy — it grinds directly against the camshaft lobe, turning an affordable rocker arm replacement into a full camshaft job. Replacing worn rocker arms promptly is the single best way to protect your cams.
The XOTIC PERFORMANCE™ CP203 kit is designed to replace worn rocker arms and lash adjusters in compatible Pentastar engines. Each rocker is precision-manufactured to factory specifications with a free-spinning needle-bearing roller and hardened contact surfaces to support reliable valvetrain operation across the RPM range.

Engineering details
The rocker roller follows the camshaft lobe. A hydraulic lash adjuster supports one end of the rocker while the other end operates the valve in the matching Pentastar valvetrain.
Each rocker has a roller at its camshaft contact point.
Precision-manufactured rocker components provide the valve-actuation interface.
Verify the OE references and vehicle exclusions in the fitment notes. Pentastar rocker and lash-adjuster applications vary by model and engine generation.
