I had one of my Dove HD rockers crack on the tip end. Did not break, but it sure did crack. I am really getting jittery about this rocker arm stuff. I do believe the Dove stands and end stands are good, but am beginning to wonder about the rockers. Since the Dove rockers are cast, would billet aluminum rockers be stronger?

Don't mean to hijack this post, but who has thoughts as to what rockers one would go to if the Dove HD's are replaced. I would like to reuse the Dove stands as they are already sized properly for my high rise heads. And, if the geometry of the rocker should be the same as the Doves, the push rods (which are new) would not have to be replaced.

Erson's would need some machining on the stands. I don't like the smaller shafts of the Erson setup. T&D's would require machining on the heads and I don't want to have to pull the heads. Any thoughts?

Priobe. Comp Cams has a push rod measuring tool and it is easy to use. Check their web site.
