Hey guys,I went through the archives, browsed catalogs and all, but im still confused on one thing...is there such a thing as a bolt on and go roller rocker? or do all roller rockers need the pedestals to be machined off? Im assuming the ones that need to be machined are adjustable? but since i have a hydraulic cam i dont need to adjust them so i want to keep my costs down. thanks Aldo

Ford Motorsport makes a bolt down and I believe Crane does also. RAY------------------

Talk about a price difference. Ford lists them for $375, Summit lists them for $260.Those are aluminum rockers, right? ------------------

If it were me, I would have the heads milled while they are off. If you decide later to switch to a solid cam (more power arr, arr, arr) you wont have to pull the heads to have them milled.

Wasn't there someone that made a bolt down roller rocker that had a adjuster over the pushrod kind of like a shaftrocker?
