Famed cam grinder Racer Brown did some high speed photography on roller tip rockers and discovered that, due to the small diameter of the roller, it had more of a tendency to skid across the tip of the valve rather than to roll across. Ever since I learned that, I have had no respect for the roller tip rockers. Now, the roller trunnion, on the other hand, is a completely different story. Moving away from the high-friction ball and socket and replacing it with needle bearings will not only free up some horsepower from reduced friction, it will also lower operating oil temperatures.
I'd like to see someone make a roller trunnion with a conventional tip.PLANET EARTH, INSANE ASYLUM FOR THE UNIVERSE.
