Cheap self aligning roller rockers 1.6
I don't know if this is common knowledge or not, but Summit racing has some cheap self aligning 1.6 rockers available. They are not in the paper catalog. I found them quite by accident. They are Proform chromemoly 1.6 roller tipped rockers. The Summit part number is PRO-66927C. Current price is $145.95 making them comparable to the Speed Pro stamped rocker 1023R and the cheapest roller tipped self alinging I have seen. Hope this is of use to someone, I know I'm anxious for my set to arrive.

Re: Cheap self aligning roller rockers 1.6
NO!!! dont buy those!!! They have very bad quality control on their rockers. There are plenty of post on the net about how crappy they are. They can break real easy with a high lift cam. How do I know this? I bought a set of there 1.5's and heres what happen to me last week..
