Default SLP 1.85 Rockers

Will they spit out bearings like the OEM's ???

I know that they are made by same manufacturer.

Well because I have a baby Comp 216/220 .525/.532 114lsa (Been sitting 2-3 month)
So with non adjustable roller tip the highest ration I know of is 1.8 which will net a lift increase .556/.563
With 1.85's, I would get more .571/.579

I have to wait to test the heads to find out if I made a terrible FUP or not. Then only could I admit my mistake or success

I have a set of SLP 1:85 that I would like to sell after the week of Aug 3,4th. They have only been used since November and have only 15,000 miles on them.

They can split. I've seen it. When it split it tapped the hell out of the valve, and ofcourse needle bearings came out. It ruined the valve. So, now we have to pull the heads and replace the valve as well as the rocker.
