they look like my 1.7 ford racing rockers, same color and all.

i say try them out. just because its ebay doesnt mean it will be bad.
i know a guy with a 5.0, he is an EBAY FREAK! pretty much all of his mods are ebay parts. and his car runs damn good.

They are Proform roller rockers. I never had a problem with them, but some people say they're junk.

I think those rockers may be made in China,although not 100% sure.
I would pass on Proform and stick with a quality USA made roller rocker arm.

nah dude, its just not worth the risk, sure they might work out great, but YOU DONT KNOW THAT FOR SURE. otherwise this post wouldn't exist.

youre car's made in AMERICA, theres no reason to put CHINESE bull$hit on your car.

so just go for a nice frpp/crane/comp set.

I personally wouldn`t buy anything on e-bay or believe some of the hype that goes along with pushing some items for sale on e-bay.(I just like buying stuff I can see in person before buying).

There`s probably some legitimate good stuff for sale on e-bay,but these Proform rockers,I doub`t they are in that category.

There`s better quality out there.

Jegs has them.

But I'm not saying that makes them any better.

same price and jegs offers free shipping. on a side note... i am not totally sure that proform is a usa company or not. but i have built major high hp motors run on the dyno, and freshened every season. only found a couple or rockers that had trunions(bearings) that were bad every year. this is a bunch of 100+ engines every year.the rockers ranged from crane,jessel,etc. these were total race engines that live on redline at every race. and have seen the big manufacturers rockers fail in the same way. i used to machine/build racing engines for a living.side note...i would bet that most rockers are not made in the us.

You can get away with skimping on so many items...but not under the valve covers. Stick with the brand name items,they don't cost THAT much more, and proven to work.
