PRW rockers the good the bad and the ugly - 03/02/11 06:06 AM
PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS POST IF YOU PERSONALLY HAVE NO!!! EXPERIENCE WITH THESE ROCKERS, THANK YOU NOW FOR THE ?
I'm looking at the prw 1.6 smallblock stainless rockers has anyone used them if so you're thoughts. This is for a BUDGET 408 with about 130-140 seat pressure and 330-350 open. Has anyone checked to see if the rocker ratio is close to advertised.
Thanks for your time, Jim

I've used them. The ratio on my set was closer to 1.5 than 1.6.

I have the stainless 1.5s on my bigblock and they are fine.Only running a 540/557 lift solid cam though.They are bushed and not roller bearings.Im pretty sure they are made by CAT.There was a very slight ink stamp on the bottom that looks like the cat symbol.

Thanks for the replies and not turning this into a bash on the parts in question from people with no experience with these. I think i'm gonna give them a try.
