You could use them with a solid roller since they are adjustable but you would probably have to get a cam custom ground to use with the 1.8s. I would imagine most solid rollers ground for 1.7s would be too aggressive to use with 1.8 rockers. For what the cranes cost you are almost to a set of t&d or jesels moneywise anyhow. Unless you already had the cranes and just get a cam made...
