i am waiting for photos of what you have going on . on roller rockers not to long ago i had a job that bit me in the ass why? trying to save a buck .i knew better as this was borded in my head many years ago by my old boss at the boat yard i worked at. all i could tell the customer is that it was the part. as it was not what it should of been. i would make it right .as i failed him as well .Welcome to the big money and fun world of building engines for a livening.buy a name brand of roller rocker stay with comps line up or crower or harland sharp .or crane . stay way from the cheap Ebay stuff i do not care how cool they look .stay way from used stuff less you can looked them over very well and can tell how old they are by the update on the rocker body much like the cranes from the 70s till now. i can but i live for this stuff. if you can not buy roller rockers.then a new set of steel stamp rockers will work. old rockers or cheap ones pin bearing can fall ou in time like cheap rockers or worn out used ones can .the trick on the steel stamp rockers . some may not go along with this but at the time i had a 600 lift soild cam on the street for many years and i used steel stamp rockers .but i liked the gm low hp rocker balls good used set as they would not cut in the rocker like the Hi hp grooved balls every one sold you and told you they were the best when the carry load surface is cut for oil grooves. i would buy new rockers L slot rockers and find a good set of used rocker balls that were not grooved for oil. then buff them with some wet dry 400 paper wash them very good put them in with a very good coat of moly lube . i had very good luck doing them this way . you may want to look at the gulde plates used GM or manley .dart.or comp .nothing else there alot of cheap suff out there that is not even right for the BBC and it is a big deal
