Gene,

The reason for removing the roller rockers was because I went to a higher 
lift camshaft during a recent rework of the engine and the 1.75:1 ratio 
would have caused spring binding, not to mention a really bad idle.  I was 
very satisfied with the rockers as far as quality and operation was 
concerned with a stock camshaft.  I would love to find some 1.50:1 rockers 
at a reasonable price sometime in the future.
