What’s yalls opinion on rockers? I’ve measured the stock ones that need replaced due to things I’ve read that they aren’t a true 1.5. All mine are close to 1.46. Anyway I’d like to do full roller, not for 5hp at 6k but just smoother/better operation. I feel the roller tip are a waste, and might as well stay stock. This motor will in no way be a race motor. Just restoring the old truck and want a healthy motor in it. I will have my foot in it a lot lol. It’s hard to spend $300+ on rockers for a cruise in truck. I have no problem paying for quality, just feel like some options are $150 higher for the brand. But I’m scared of the $100 full roller rockers on eBay. Thoughts?
