Default Reliabilty of twisted wedge heads (302)
I'm considering the TFS twisted wedge heads for a 325 HP/302 (from Southern Automotive), they look nice but the twisted rocker action has be a little concerned. This is for street use.

Won't this cause a strange wear pattern on the cam lobes and/or accelerated wear to the valve guides because of the twist to the rocker action? Will roller rockers minimize this?

Also, SA seems a bit pricy at ~6K - don't mind spending that if its first rate - any suggestions for equally regarded builders?

TIA engine Gurus,

Jim
