But now you are talking about spending ALOT of money. I had good luck with crane gold rockers, i just had to change the adjuster screws in them. I ran those on my W2 heads.

You can spend less and wonder if it is good enough I suppose. For what you get in quality , extra features and piece of mind .......... they are a bargain.

This is no place to try to save money. Actually, it Jesel or T+D for me now. HS are a pretty good alternative.

Are they the LA or Magnum version? I'm one of the odd people who went with the magnum version and I used the hughes magnum shaft roller rockers. Awesome pieces. I can't see why the same hughes roller rockers for the LA shafts would be any worse... IMO, I would definitley give the hughes rockers a look. Not taking anything away from the harlands, but I think the hughes are just a better rocker. I dont know that to be a fact, but it's definitely my opinion and I do own both.

I was having a problem with clearance with my 1.55 springs. The best and most material I found on a roller rocker was C.A.T. I had to clearance these rockers for fit and they still had a lot of material for strength. I know how most people feel about forign parts but they have worked for me when others have not. 6.50 @105.26

I called RAS the other day, and they can setup shaft mounted rockers that are bushed ductile iron up to a 1.6 ratio for $255 if you send in your old stuff. These are adjustable and non roller tip

I don't know why I have not created anything in the for sale section, but I really should. My Sharps were always failsafe.

I have a 1.5 set , but I haven't decided if I will use them again or not, so they haven't made it to the for sale section yet either. I would not have a problem running used H.S. rockers for a solid street build. They are also re-buildable.........something I don't think you can pull off with bushed rockers.
