Keep em coming guys!! Thanks so far. Talked to Ron at Vengence last week and he recommends the YT's now. Said he has seen too many broken Harlands... but there must be hundreds out there with harlands that don't break either. Sorta leaning to the YT's if I can get a price within 25-30 bux of the harlands. Still have a couple months to decide, but at this rate it seems closer to a draw. haha

Still need a lot of parts for my H/C job, and rockers will likely not be ordered till April, but I think I am gonna go with the YT Ultralites. Thanks guys!!

As said above we ran Harland Sharps on all of our TFS head installs for about 6 months... We started having issues with the rocker breaking at the pushrod fulcrum. After a few instances of the same thing happening we switched to the Yella Terra Ultra Lites and havent looked back. ZERO failures in over 300 installed sets and countless mail orders....

The Yella Terras are a bit more expensive, but we will continue to use what we have faith in Vs saving a few bucks.

FWIW, Yella Terra did just have a pretty significant price increase so I expect most of the dealers out there selling for under 400.00 will soon be adjusting there prices

The harlands had a bad batch in a run that they state. They recognized the problem and know which set of rockers were affected.
Ive had harlands in my car and they have been perfect so far. I put them in 3 years ago.

We use the YT ultralites too and with cams up to .675 lift use the supplied .050 shim and then get what ever pushrod works for the preload you want. Like Ron said they have also worked great for us.

I talked to Tooley at TEA last week and he said he uses Harland Sharp's without issue. These were for the as cast heads, I don't know if that makes any difference.
