I have Dove stuff on my car,,I belive them to make the best heads and intake {flow wise} in the business,but I dont like the rocker setup,although for a street motor,,I am sure they are fine,I have a friend who races 427's still,a few weeks ago he nearly trashed a 30k motor when he lost a pushrod which became shredded ,the cause was a worn out rocker arm,after checking ,all of them were badly worn and the motor didnt have that many runs,he was so upset he went to visit Jim Dove in person,he still contends they dont need a bushing,I respect the man and like the stuff,but I dissagree with this,I feel they need needle bearings,or at the least bronze bushings. I have my friends name and number if any one wants to call him,he has raced 427's non stop since they were introduced,390's and 406's prior to that,arca,nascar and dirt,he knows his stuff. buy another brand rocker,or if your not using a roller,use stock ,Tk
