    Like I posted with my header question I drive a ton and have a used set of 1.9 rockers. Do they last as long as factory or will they start to fail prematurely? I might just sell them, thank you.

    Well technically they are factory rockers, they have just been re welded at a different ratio.

    How do you know that he has modded stockers and not HS, Yella Terra etc? OP.. what brand do you have?

    I know guys that have put a lot of miles on rockers. Like 100K +

    Maybe it's just me in my limited exposure, but a long time enthusiast....

    But I've never heard of someone's rockers failing outside of user/installation error!

    Just my $.02

    I haven't pulled them out of the engine yet so I don't know, I should have them out this weekend. I assumed they would wear like factory but wasn't sure on the "modification" . I'll find out what brand they are.
