Is Rocker Arms Unlimited making roller rockers for the B/RB heads again? I think that they used to call them 440 MAX.

Yes just bought a set. They didn't have any shafts back from the hard chromers. So I bought the rocker arms and used Hughes shafts. They only make them in 1.6 ratio.

Good to hear. Very interested in what you think about the quality.

Very high quality. Little on the heavy side. But very good rocker.

The RAS shafts I purchased in the past are much beefier than the multiple sets of Hughes shafts I own(ed). But they're priced accordingly to go with the extra strength and additional oiling mods.

Depending upon the application, the Hughes shafts are perfectly usable. And, if I was still using heads that worked with standard-offset intake rockers, I'd be kicking myself for having solid my set of rockers & shafts years ago.

The only drawback, as pointed out, is they are very nose heavy as a result of their "built like a bridge support" design.

Do you remember the old adage about talking about people or business that goes, if you can't say something good don't say anything at all? If not I do so I won't say anything about Hughes or RAS rockers now based on my experiences with both tsk work

I can understand your philosophy. On that note, I'd be very interested in a rocker arm company that you do have something good to say about.
