ebay roller rockrs

Has anyone looked at or purchased these. Do they have any advantage in the rpm's most of us operate in?

No advantage what-so-ever, a total waste on a street driven car. Even Tom Bedenbaugh, the pickiest guy about cars you ever saw doesn't use them.

But they sure look purdy..

I agree, good for a race car, overkill for a street car, unless at car outings you remove the valve cover lol, otherwise no one will ever see them, spend your money on something that people will notice.

i want a hood mounted rocket launcher.

Got one.. how much you want to give/?

And you don't have to pay shiping.. Just give me you GPS #..

Yes just by themselves, but put mine with a Burgess fast road head, Maniflow manifolds and different needles and it really made a difference. Quieter too, [http://www.tsimportedautomotive.com/mgb.html#Anchor-ENGINE-35882]
was cheaper then Ebay and give good service.

Woops John, I have high lift roller rockers on both the Midget, and GT. I agree that roller rockers by themselves have no advantage.

Yeah, Right! But tell what all you did to go along with that.
You have more in the heads of those two cars than most people want to put in an entire engine.

Plexiglas :)

Roller rockers might not be advantageous in them self, but don't most of thenm come with a high ratio as well?

You can buy them either way.

I don't want to give up my "Triumph rocker hardware" though!!

Good lunch Paul! Cheez-Its and beer. :)

That is what I think.

If I were building a street motor, I would not have gone through the expense of them. I believe to have any significant improvement over stock, you should upgrade the entire system from intake to exhaust. Just putting them on a (more or less) stock motor probably won't have a lot of advantage other than lightening your wallet.

For the cost of the rollers, spend that $ on something else (cam, arp bolts, etc) that would be more cost effective for a street motor.
