Probably a great way to spend about a grand...to fix everything you might break by using something that cheap. I'd be willing to bet that they'd break pretty damn quickly. If they work, I'd be willing to bet that your power goes down.

I sent that guy an email a while back asking some questions about them. One of the questions was where they are made. He replied back but did not tell me where they are made so I sent him another and finally he said offshore. haha. I wouldn't buy them for fear of the bearing crapping out.

Not likely. The stock ones work great for the cam I have and there are better things to spend the money on. If they work, congratulations, and you're a braver person than I for trying them.

Stock rockers F-T-W! If you want an upgrade, call Harland. They'll upgrade the needle bearings in the stockers.

What do they charge to do that? Is it worth it?

9 times out of 10, you get exactly what you pay for. Make a note of that when looking at these things.
