Another roller rocker???
I know that aluminum roller rockers should not be used on a daily driver. But I am wondering how many miles a car could be driven a year with roller rockers and not worry about failure.
I plan on driving my car only during summer, with well less 10,000 miles a year. Do you guys think this is alright, or should I re-think my reasoning.

aluminum rockers are designed for track use only (meaning their life span is limited), how many passes (1/4 mile) can you make in relation to the estimated milage per yer? 40,000 passes, I can't think of anything rated for track use that's designed for that many passes. IMHO

unless your hittin over 6500 every shift, heavier, more durable steel rockers will be JUST fine...
the wieght is only an issue in race motors where the momentem of the weight of the rockers causes some valve float or lag issues.
