I have the chance to get a set of Cobra/Crane 1.7 roller rockers for half the price of new. They have approx 8,000 miles on them.

Should I go for it or stay away from them?

It depends on why the previous owner is taking them out. If its because something in the motor went wrong I would stay away. If he just didnt like them or something of the sort then go for it.

iv'e read somewhere the majority of aftermarket roller rocker wear out at about 40k miles. the cobra ones happen to be of a high quality and oe so should have lots of life left on them
