I was checking some stuff on ebay. I'm looking for a set of full roller rockers to use with my D0OE heads. I'm going to use the motorsport valve springs:

I'm also going to be using the motorsport F cam. I'm wondering if any of these rockers are worth my time of if I should spend some more money on a "brand name" set of roller rockers.

These are what I found:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/302-...tegoryZ33624QQihZ004QQitemZ140014432528QQrdZ1

Am I wasting my time with these or are they every bit as good as say comp cams stuff for 100 dollars less ?

The last set wont work unless you have 7/16 studs instead of the standard 3/8. I've never heard anything good or bad about pro comp, but alot of bad stuff about CAT

Might look at these

You can get the proforms from places like jegs for under $150 too

Even though I use eBay a lot, I am wary of buying rocker arms there. I was across the aisle from Scorpion at last year's PRI show, and the owner was telling me some pretty scary tales. He said almost all his returns were from knock-off Chinese rockers that people bought on eBay. He also told me about a prototype Chevy Gen III rocker he had on his display stand at PRI the year previous, and someone stole it off his display. 6 Months later, it was on eBay, in sets, even though he decided not to manufacture that part.

I would buy my rockers from a reputable manufacturer and a reputable source. The ones you are looking at are less than $150 at Jegs all day long.

with low rpm and low spring pressures, they should be fine.
i'm running some no-name used alum rockers with 400+ lbs over the nose, and they're fine so far.

I am going to go with a 7/16" stud as it is. I believe all of those rocker arms used a 7/16" stud.

I guess what my question is, are any of those as good as a well known brand name full roller rocker ? I'm trying to put together a good set of heads on a budget. If those rockers are not gonna be capable of performing the same way a set of comp cams rockers would then I have no problem paying the extra cash. But if they are every bit as good for 100 dollars less then why should I shell out the extra money ?

I know of a few people with BB CAT rockers that had them fall apart.
