Hey, was wondering if any one used any rockers or any thing other parts from this company. I'm looking at a set of rockers from them. The price looks OK, but the quality is what I was wondering about. Thanks John

I got a set of fab aluminum valve covers from them. Decent quality, no complaints. I don't know about rockers. I think I would go with a little more quality for machined engine parts.

Hey Stroker, just a little better build than stock. I was looking at the stainless ones.

Is it true that aluminum can break over time and that the the steel are much stronger?  Heard it one time when I said that the aluminum look pretty *****in.

Has anyone ever used the PRW aluminum 1.6 rockers?  PRW said that they have 750 lbs. of open spring pressure.

It doesnt take much ignorance to break a good part. Budget aluminums are nothing I use because the quality in machining and threading sucks.

Your rocker and this rocker seem to be the same. Made by pro comp and not comp cams.  Pete

I hated those Comp Pro Rockers.  I had them on my Mustang and they were noisey & heavy. 

Definately not worth the $$.
