i'm interested if anyone has used them too.
they seem like a great deal. too bad you have to get valvecovers with them. if there were some aftermarket valvecovers for under $500 i'd probably have a set of these rockers. but with how much valvecovers are, i think most people pass and try to get a rocker that fits under the stock covers.

1- You need spacers >>>>> Thunder Racing
2- They require 7.10> 7.20 P-rods
3- You need to machine the p-rod alley due to the change in angle.
So yeah, HS is still the best bang (siamese shaft-non adjustable)

I think the bang for the buck is the Comp Magnums. They're "old school" I guess with the guide plates and all...but they can be adjustable and are high quality pieces.

2- They are siamesed by a shaft for every cylinder and prevent twisting at higher rpm
3- they also come in 1.8
4- They are purdy
5- They do not spit out bearings.
shall I go on?

Crane 1.7's fit under the stock valve covers (center bolt) and come with pushrods/screw in studs/Guideplates. Also availiable in 1.8. They are adjustable and work well with comp Rs.
I saw the Patriot Rockers and when I build another motor I will probably try them out. I like shaft rockers. Especially for that price!
