Need opinion on roller rockers (pictures inside)

Hey Everyone,

Ive got the opporotunity to buy this set of Crane Gold series rockers for $75cdn.

They are used, and have been fitted, but i am un sure whether this damage will affect future performance.

Letme know what you think:

Those rockers have seen a hard life. They are all used up.

PASS , even if they are free. Here are some fairly decent aluminum rockers from Summit for a fair price.

Here is a good deal. these Crane "Blue Racer" rocker arms are the same as the $$$ Gold race $$$ without the gold anodizing. For a lot less. these are not the cheap(er) heavy 'Energizer" series.
Notice the Wolverine Blue racer Series part number.
They are sometimes refered to as the "Engine Builders Rocker Arm",, as they are the real-deal Crane rockers without the high price and gold finish.
Thats a good deal.

I also recomend Scorpion Brand rocker arms. they are as bullit proof as an aluminum rocker arm gets and have a lifetime warranty. If you can break one you're doing someting wrong. like what ever happended to the abused rockers in your pics. price is right too. just make sure your getting genuine Scorpion rockers, not some knockoff.
