Default How good are Crane 1.8 rockers?

How good (quality/performance) are the Crane 1.8 rockers for LS1s? Anyone had any problems with them? Could they be used with solid roller (strong enough) cams?

How big is your cam and are your pistons flycut?

for now I have a TR224/224 with 0.562" lift....I have over 0.100" p-to-v clearance so the 0.033" extra lift will still leave me with enought clearance to not have any problems....

what I am wondering about though is "one day" I "might" do a solid roller set up and I wan't whatever I buy NOW to work THEN....(save $$$)

The Crane 1.8s wont work with a solid roller. THey are small studs per rocker just like the stock ones. The difference is is that they are lighter and longer.

I had a set on my car for awhile and they KEPT coming loose. I didnt think I needed to locktite rocker bolts. So I took them off.

I dont think they will get you much either that the yella terra 1.7s wont, and your cam selection would be easier.
