Roller Rockers on EBay

I've only seen them offered by either Doctor Marty or Joe Siam(Chequered Flag Racing), both can be considered honest ebayers. They are manufactured by Harland Sharpe. If you want rollers, these would probably be the way to go. There is much debate about whether roller rockers are needed on a street motor. However, someday I will probably put them on my car, either the Harland Sharpe, or the ones offered by Goodparts(a little pricier).

I guess that is where I am going with this post is I have a great deal of GP components on the 250 and want to remain loyal but the price here is very tempting

I can recommend Joe, I done some race car dealing with him, the good thing about Joe, is he just doesn't sell the stuff, he actually uses it as well, and is wealth of knowledge. FWIW, I rather buy from a guy who can actually tell me how to make it all work from their past experience, there's alot of guys on Ebay who are nothing more than part peddlers, and never get there hands greasy, and have zero experiecne with the stuff they sell, and thats definately not Joe.
I had a customer buy a MGB cross flow head from one of the Ebay sellers, then later decided to get a set of the Harland Sharp 1.5 roller arms from him. Here's the deal the pushord holes in the x-flow head are smaller than the ones in a stock head, so when the roller rocker arms were installed, the pushrods interfered with head as for bottoming out on the pushrod hole bores, now I could have taken the head and enlarged the pushord holes and made it work, but the customer was so mad because he had been sold a part that seller did not tell him involved a modification to his head to amke work, he sold them in disgust. This sort of thing is a good reason why you might want to buy from a guy who has used this stuff on his own engines.
