I'm using the Yella Terras. They have never given me any trouble and have over 25,000 hard miles on them so far.

Replace the trunions and put a c-clip on so the bearings can't fall out.

$250, 3 days.

I sent mine back last Monday, and do not have them back yet.

$260

They put a new trunion in them, and make it so the rockers can't spill their bearings again.

I'm running the Crane gold 1.8's with a Comp grind 228-230/571-573/112. Not that that is a real big cam compared to some others.

That is a monster big cam in a 346... I was looking at going to something that size for my 402.... you're making me think about going even bigger.

Crane gold race 1.7's, PITA to adjust the first time but they seem to be worth it.
