Wonder why the bad rap on factory arms. Except the ratios being off from time to time.


I don't think anyone has broken one. It's just that the roller rockers look sexier. And in your mind the roller tip has to be easier on the guides. Not that anyone is going to actually be driving a 426 Hemi any miles to speak of. This isn't the old days. I've never torn down a stock street hemi that the guides weren't worn out.
and you really think a roller tip that operates the full sweep closer to the stem center ISN'T easier on the guides than the stock rockers that hang off the edge of the stem at the beginning of the sweep?


You took me backwards there. I'm saying I wouldn't put one together without roller rockers. Partly because I think they have to be 10 times better on the guides. And of course I think roller rockers are pretty.
OH sorry Rick..I was gonna say laugh2.
