Default PRW roller rockers?

Anybody know anything about these rockers? Good price, made of stainless steel.

Have about 10K miles on mine and no problems, drive it every day like it was stolen. Best thing is that they are adjustable. The single adjustables comes with the studs, rockers, guideplates and set nuts.

I can't say if they fit under the stock covers as I GMPP covers

Real nice folks to deal with, I use http://www.jobberwarehouse.com/index.aspx

but I've talked to the folks at PRW on the phone and in person at the PRI shows.

I have a shaft kit from them sitting around collecting dust, 1.8 rockers, new, test fitted and run for about 5 mins.

If I still have them when I pull the heads (???) then I'll install them. The pushrod holes on some cylinders need to be enlarged when using 5/16 PR. The single adjustable bolted right on.

I don't know why more people don't use them, other than the name isn't well known.

Aren't most aftermarket rockers made of aluminum? Would the weight difference of the stainless be an issue?

The rockers are generally made smaller overall and the weight over the valve is the same or less.

Here's a pic in this link that you can scroll over
