Crane 1.8 gold rockers and Vinci grind cam here. I've never had an issue with the roller rockers. They're easy to set up and have survived 30k miles so far without a hitch.
Oh... and I can say I have roller rockers.

I bought them from Texas Speed...the reason that I originally bought them was that I was chasing valvetrain noise that I thought was the factory rockers (I was wrong

). That's when I learned about the LS engines and aftermarket cam noise

I ran them for 6 months or 4000 miles before I lost compression in a cylinder..come to find out I snapped one in half with a 1.7 ratio and SMALL 212/218 low lift cam with comp 918's...I have yet to send them back to Scorpion..Put some low milage 07' stockers back on and have had no issues

If I were to run RR's again it would be Yella Terra ultra lights..
