These are factory pieces that have been remanufactured with bushings on the rocker arms. Order this evening ships tomorrow.

I have seen aluminum roller rockers on an R16 at Rebello Racing. Not sure if they were made for the R16 originally or adapted from something else, but there they were.

Probably overkill unless you're building an all out race motor. I went with Dean's rebuilt set that he mentioned above for my R2150 stroker.

There used to be a few options for aluminum rockers. One company had the principal die, so it went away. Dean used to sell some. Stan sold some. I've seen them offered elsewhere, but can't recall where. As stated above, overkill for all but racing.
