Best answer yet.


I like this as well. I run what most would call cheap rockers, but I bought them because they were bronze bushed with roller tips. I just don't like the idea of needle bearings up there, seems unnecessary. Maybe on a race motor that's gonna be torn down and looked at regularly. But for a street motor, stick with as few potential hazards as possible. Also, I see a lot of aluminum rocker failure stories, even high dollar ones. Very seldom have I seen a steel rocker fail (just my personal experience).
