I had mine done there and they came out awesome. Scott,on a rework,ball park on cost? The reason I ask is that the original Max Wedge rocker arms are not a true 1.5 ratio.Is it really worth the expense versus new 1.5 ductile iron rockers?

I think I paid about $500.00 which included new chrome shafts, refurbish the tips, and aluminum collars instead of springs, and all new adjusters, that was about 4 years ago.
