Oh good grief Turtle....didn't you ever read the humongous, controversial threads I posted about roller rockers at the CF?
First off, the roller tip DOESN'T "roll" at all.
Secondly, many of them are actually WEAKER than the stamped steel ones.
Third, the amount of actual horsepower gain is so tiny it's not worth the expense to buy them.
These are like fishing lures...they are better at catching the fisherman than the fish.
People buy them for all kinds of looney reasons....
Their favorite racer uses them so they MUST be good.
Their favorite parts company builds them.
They "match" the maker of the cam they use.
They are GOLD!!!!
Well at least you can get a clear plastic valve cover so people can actually SEE the gold-colored rockers. The fact is that racers change these rockers like we change our socks. They never get a chance to fail in racing use because they're never on the car long enough TO fail. They don't go through the hot-cold-hot-cold cycling that daily driver cars do.
You put the standard rockers back on. Good!!! Leave them on and TELL everyone you have the gold ones. It'll save you a lot of money and nobody will know the difference (unless you put on clear valve covers...LOL)
