Which would yo guys go with?

I have heard too many horror stories about cheap rockers, so I'd go with the Crane ones.

These.

I saw Comp makes a step above thier Pro Mags now...looks very cool. Lighter and stronger...always good.

Comp Cams Ultra Pro Mags

Methinks that if he is looking at Proforms and used cranes then $285+ rockers are probably out of the question, guys.

pro mags are excellent and have a lifetime warranty. i use those and i use isky aluminum rockers.

I would avoid cheaping out on rockers especially needle bearing ones if they let go have fun fixing your engine...

Cranes are supposedly the quietest full bodied roller rockers, compared to pro mags which are prob the loudest.

Yea im looking for something cheap at the moment iv spent a great deal of money on the car and bottem end and all I need to finish the motor is pistons cam/lifters and roller rockers that arnt going to rub on the valve springs like my stock 1.5 stamped ones did.

Pistons and cam im def not cheaping out on thats the only reason the motor was done and in the car 3 weeks ago, but as far as RR's go I can go cheap/temp for a month or two then sell them and buy some nice new ones.(Its a simple enough swap).

I will take a look at the crane ones if I like them ill probally pick them up. Those ultra pro mags do looks sick(but their under valve covers so wtf al?) and I have heard good things about them so that maybe a future decision right their.

Heres a link to the crane roller rockers thats for sale

its a private forum. i wouldn't cheap out now. you will pay more later

If you want to cheap out on rockers, get a set of stamped magnums new. They are like hundred bucks and won't ruin your engine. Much safer than buying used rockers.

i wouldnt go with comp. every motor with something comp it goes wrong. Buy the crane. yes i know crane is owned by comp but there stuff is still better IMO

Do you have any proof to that?

Huh?

Crane just went bankrupt and Scorpion is trying to buy them.

New for 180 ish, nothing to really break and their new.

go comp or scorpion and never look back

I have read bad reviews of scorpions puking their bearings.

Don't forget you need Self Aligning rocker arms if your not running guide plates and hardened pushrods = Promags.

I thought comp cams bought them out? maybe im wrong.

I have guideplates and hardened pushrods so thats no worry. I think im going to go with the crane ones.

crane ftl !!!!

comp is one of the best companies going, aside from jesel, TD, and isky. and as far rocker noise is concerned, aluminum rockers absorb some of the valve train noise. but if your valves are loud u did something wrong.

Every one of the major companies has had parts fail. I've read stories of cam lobes being wiped, lifters puking their needle bearings, etc from all of the big names. Bottom line is, if the company had a consistent issue with poor quality, they would have been out of business long ago.

Any new brand name part should treat you just fine.

And no, Comp doesn't own Crane.

Like everyone said... don't cheap out... and don't buy used.

I got comp magnum roller tip rockers new from atlantic speed along with a 284 nitrous cam and lifters kit.

Yep, those are the ones SNM reccommended.

Yep they are, cept I got them for under 150 new shipped from atlantic speed off ebay. I bought my last comp cam from them their great to deal with.
