Looking for a good reliable upgrade to the rocker arms and BTR offers this.
Thoughts?

Never used that kit, I’ve done a few of the Straub kits and have one on my motor also.

A bench vice or sturdy drill press and some common sense and can be done at home easily.
Look on youtube there are vids on the needle bearing kits, and these are the same process just with bronze bushings. Lube them good tho and check for binding when done..

If you have a bench vise you can do them at home. I’ve done them with a bench vise and an Arbor press. Both were easy.
