I too, had problems with oiling on the Indy exhaust rockers; cured that with oil through the pushrods.

The Landy and Mopar performance roller tip rockers do not oil the tips very well, especially when the oil is cold. to compensate, I have opened up the groove in the number four cam journal to provide more oil to the valvetrain. also I do not use straight weight oil. I use 1030 or 1040, because it gets oil to the roller tips quicker. If you are using a flat tappet cam, stock Hemi rockers will be fine.

I wouldn't rely on this guys ebay feedback to gauge the quality of those cheap chinese junk rockers . Most ebay users fear retalitory negative feedback so they will not give it , plus you only have 90 days to leave feedback , I doubt 75% of those rockers sold were installed with the feedback period .
I haven't seen anything good posted about them that I can remember.

Everything I've heard about those rockers hasn't been good. I use the DLI roller rockers w/ MP shafts and stands on my hemi w/ a solid roller. Zero issues since 2006.

I also bought a set. Same issues. I did not dare to buy with roller tips, and went stock type. They were too short and ground with wrong starting point for the radius. If used as is, it would have worn out the guides/valvestems in a short time. I checked with X-referance to stock old Mopar rockers and found out that the brackets were not the problem, but the rockers needed welding/extending and regriding the tips. Also lacked all the hold down bolts when I got the set. Too late for me in Norway to challenge the feedback when I finally got them. I have used stock rockers sold on the bag with better results, although some have had worn tips (easy fix). My old rockers ran 9000 rpms with Crane R290 in the old days, no issues with them. But I needed to check/grind the radius for correct fitness to the valvestem top with that camshaft back then.
