    Well, I don't know who makes them but they come in a Comp Cams box and they don't break. Some of the cheapie aluminum ones are just flimsy cast pieces and will bust without a moments notice.....

    Here's a pic of the ones that I use....

    Oh, dave I didn't mean to say Comp cams dosn't make roller rockers at all, I meant to say they do not make them for the 144-250 I6's, the 1's I'm talking about are on the site I posted.

    here's the full roller rockers, they are 1.65 ratio. the 144-250's use a rocker shaft rather than individual rockers.
