Unless you have all the tooling, are very good with dial indicators and have a bunch of experience, I would send them to Rocker Arm Specialties in California.
If you have the tooling and feel comforatable making fixtures and things, go for it.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

Last I heard, RAS was no longer in existence. I hope I heard incorrectly.
You did, I had Gary bush, change ratio to 1.6 and blueprint 7 BB Mopar ductile iron rockers that I had here. I had them do a bunch of different brand, Mopar, Isky, Crane, Sig Erson and some cheaper no names, ductile iron rockers back in the early 1990s the same way as these are being done I've used them all up except the last nine I had so it is time to use them on my latest street pump gas stroker motor (512 C.I. 440 block) I'm making now with stock type heads. I sent them to him several weeks back, he quoted 2 to 3 weeks to finish them and he said Fridy he will ship them to me tomorrow, 2/16/20015. I'll post when they arrive and any appropriate comments

I had RHS bush some Comp Pro Magnum a few years ago. They didn't bore out the rockers. They press in a bushing and use a smaller diameter rocker shaft. I have an extra set of their shafts if interested.
PSO headed 632 from MM. Cracked cylinder, loose valve seats, low oil pressure, low cylinder pressure. ..... Now its a door stop....

The new owner of RAS, rockerarms.com closed up in 2012. But the old owner help the employees reopen as RAU (rocker arms unlimited). I hope they offer similar parts and service like they use to. I guess Cab will let us know!
I guess that's why I heard RAS was no longer in business. I was hoping there was still a possibility of getting some 440 Max replacement rockers.
Gary new phone number is 530-242-1316. The post about the new owners closing up RAS is true, Gary new location is in Redding,CA now He has been real busy, I belive, so call him and if he doesn't answer leave a message
