After nearly a 2 year delay I'm back working on my build...(don't ask,long story). I searched the forum to see if any one has found some RAS rocker roller tips not round.(purchased on group buy in june 2010) This was just before the change in ownership.
My machinist solved the binding of the arms when torqued down by honing .0005-.001 more clearance in the bushings.(he didn't think they ever had been sized... just pressed in) And now this!!!!! :x While doing the initial valve set as the rollers turned some changed .003-.004 . Starting to wish I listened to some of the guys here to spend $ else where... well I did that to. :wink:
I seen about a year ago Joshua Skinner got a set... how did you make out?
Looking for some input guys. I'll be contacting RAS this week. :roll:

Thank You in advance.

Best of luck to you…I can't say I've heard any happy stories with these RAS items; sounds like they really screwed the pooch on 'em. :-(

I assembled mine on the engine just fine, but didn't run them as I sold the project.
