Thanks Rod Yeah I had read that a while back, regards the treating. I know these particular rockers are different than the I believe it was Probe stuff they used to carry or maybe still do. Just looking at what options are out there for roller cams on stock style heads that don't require clearancing and can hold up to probably 550-600 spring pressures The HS stuff doesn't impress me and requires being whittled on to run 1.55 springs from what I have heard.

Yes I have ran them. 410 SB, 4spd. Revved it up all day to 7200RPM. They work well. This was with as Solid Flat Tappet though, 262@50 w/.624 Lift. They held the valve adjustment very well, hardly ever needed to adjust them and if so only a few exhaust valves. Was using Manton Ball Cup push Rods, oil thru on LA Heads. Pressureized oil on the ball and cup. Was also running Johnson Oil through EMD Lifters. FWIW

Went with Harland's and ain't looking back...
You too? I just called them earlier in the week and I was a little put off by the attitude to say the least.
Really!? I have NEVER heard that before...
Hughes and Indy. Where customer service is #1,356. Right on the priority list after cleaning the toilets.
