Default What Should I Do?

Well today i was determined to find my top end miss in my camaro and this is what i found. I found three roller rockers that looked like these the roller bearings are about to fall out. The motor only has under 5,000 miles on it.

Ditch the cruddy rockers and go with something proven, like a Pro Mag.

ProForm are blue and in reality seem to hold up decent to normal use, have a set with 45K miles on them in my garage and they are in great shape yet, even by the admission of a ProForm hating friend who has handled them.
