Junk or not?
Well this looks like a good deal for aluminum rockers. I just wanna know if its junk or not cause usually cheap sucks. Also do we have 3/8 or 7/16 studs? Also do I want self aligning ones? Thanks guys

check the search engine but, they are 3/8 self aligning i beleive. They probably are crap no offense. Btw proform another cheapy brand also makes low quality aluminum 1s which i'd stay away from, from here say anyways.

Thanks man, but I checked the search a few days ago and I couldnt find much in the TBI boards. I just wanted to make sure they are self-aligning like I thought. Skinny steel ones are better for stock valve covers right?

You really want narrow body rockers. You want 3/8 self alligning. Those may not fit under the stock vavle covers. I would also advise against cheap aluminum rockers. They tend to fall apart at the fulcrum and the cheap ones aren't usually rebuildable. I would get a set of stamped roller tipped 1.6 rockers (should be cheaper too) and call it a day.

Don't mean to sound rude but I told you I did a bunch of research and if you're going to go cheap you want the ones I sent you the link on, they're only $70 or so bucks for a set of them and they're going to give you at least 95% of the performance you'd get from the very best rocker arms.

Yeah dude thats right you did send me a link. Is there a rocker I" can compare those ones too? Do they have the roller tips and all? Plus I hope they are 3/8 stud and self aligning.
