I dought it.
The way I found out is back in 99 I started chasing a funny noise. I HATE valve train noise and we had gotten rid of all of it but this strange rubbing noise. Used a Electronic stethiscope to track it down to the rockers. Once we took them apart it was evedent what the noise was. I called Comp and they said it was bad oil pressure. so I changed the NEW oil pump out and got a new set. about a year later the noise was back. Sure enough same thing. We got to where we just took the trunions out and checked them on a regular basis. When they are REAL bad you can take the rocker, Hold it buy the trunion and pull up and rock it like in the engine and feel it was rough.
Once you take the rocker apart you see a wiped our bearing surface.
Do I run it hard. You bet! Odd thing? My cheap .150 offset Jegs rockers have already out lived the Comp Pro Mag stainless I had on the exhaust side
