Has nothing to do with HP....I broke several on a nearly stock motor...they are junk.

Why buy $500 rockers? Horsepower and if thats not enough you never get the oh **** look when you change your oil and see a bunch of needle bearings on the drain plug...

because some of the aftermarket rockers weigh more at the valve than stock. I read about people having problems with float on the y/t rockers.

If you have needle bearings on the drain plug. There is really no way that I know of. You either get lucky or your screwed. It's not really that common, just with high rpm engines.

As far as aftermarket rockers, yes, y/t's are heavy. However, not all aftermarket rockers are heavy. The jessel shaft mounts that he's putting on now, are not heavy.
