Quote: They do have needle bearings....but I failed to mention Made in the USA is far superior than Made in China
It's not the needles that are the main concern with these time bombs...it is the shafts. Needle bearings regardless of whose rockers they occupy require if not demand a true .8750 55ish+hrc hardened rocker shaft to live.
that may be the case but the offshore rockers weak point had been the shaft the roller tip rotates on , too brittle and breaking.
I was "lucky" enough not to have that problem show up as well. I just had the cages blow up due to undersized and soft rocker shafts and send all kinds of fun stuff throughout my block.
