It's mostly true that when you have a valve train issue it is usually caused by something other than a rocker arm.We found that the rockers for hemis offered on ebay and other site that are made in Canada or off shore to be junk.The rollers and pins are not hardened,the ratios are all over the place,adjusters are junk as is the thread pitch in the rocker.
If cost is no concern then The Jesel and T&D(Barton)and StageV are the best option.We have never had an issue with Indy rockers and run them on most all our hemis including Don's blower car,zero failures.The stock rockers are strong but need to be corrected for all out race application,for the street/strip they work fine.Landy,(if you can find them) have had pin issues and Norris(same) have pin and clearence issues,We have no experience with any other brands.Stay away for the Canada(ebay) junk. and here I thought Canada was fairly decent and manufacturing goods.

I bet the stuff comes from China for resale!!!

They are most likely from off shore manufactures.We seen them eat up the rollers and pins is less than a few hundered miles.We seen the adjusters slip out of the threads and the stands not locate on the head bolt holes and alignment pins as well as the stand holes for the shafts be so far off when the stands are attached to the heads the shafts won't go through all the holes.
The warning should be quite easy to figure when they offer the complete assembly for around $1500 when most Mopar and Indy cost around $2000+ .Going cheap will end up costing a lot more in the end.The vender is in Canada but that doesn't mean they were manufactured there.
