hey guys i posted a thread last week about roller rocker noise. when i bought it he told me there were roller rockers on it. so today i tore the valve covers off cause of the tappin noise. and guess what i found, no rollers. So after finding that almost all of them moved side to side quite a bit and made noise i loosened the bolts on them then re torqued them to 25 foot pounds which is the recremendation. and they some of them got tighter and didnt move as much but most of them did. So are my rockers shot and i have to buy new onew?? I told my dad that i was just going to order rollers and he told me that someone told him that rollers arnt really worth it. what do you guys think i should do?

It all depends how much you want to spend. But rollers are definatly worth it. They won't last as long but they will out perform stamped ones.
