well thats good to know, they where in my car when i bought it about three years ago, there 1.7 petestal mount and are for the cobra cars they run for about 200.00, they seem to be in great shape but maybe i'll look into some others.

Sure there is better rockers out there, but i disagree with usmc.
The crane 1.7's are fine, they are actually designed for reliability and daily use.
I laugh at some of my friends that I can beat everytime with their high dollar comp cam rockers, including stud mount's....
I will eventually go with those scorpion rockers if mine do wear out, which im not seeing any noticeable wear, and i have alot of miles on mine.
I mean everything has a low life expectancy if you race hard, and frequently.
Btw, If I had a nice stroker motor like usmc's, of course I would have some stud mount crane golds.

I also plan on looking at the scorpion rockers when I have to swap my 1.7 trick flows out for a 1.6 version in the spring.

FWIW, the dowl pins at the end were the problem I had with mine, they were sliding out of place and Crane told me this was a sign of the end of there lifespan. Of course, Crane also knew I was going to spend more money with them......

I probably had 6 or 7k miles on them before I tore everything down for the 331, that's when I noticed them. Glad I did because those little dowel pins in the motor = disaster. Good luck either way!
