Default Quick question

Anybody ever heard of a cheap brand called CAT performance? I was wondering if there would be a issue later down the road using a cheaper roller rocker? Their a 1.6r running with 918 spring and 503 cam.
Trust them or not?

Alot of things can happen, roller bearings falling out, geometery wrong, hardening not correct causing rapid wear and failure are just a few off thw top of my head. I personally have never heard of them, they might be good but I would not take a chance. Buy from a reputable company there are plenty out there. Just my .02

Thanks bro! Im leaning towards more not using them. If anybody has used this brand or a not so good brand, please chime in.
