Just saw the article. Really nice engine. I was wondering if those are the standard Dove rockers and not the wide bodied ones in the photos? If they are the standard ones were they used because they are a Speed Pro item? I know XR7 on the FE board has used them with his roller springs with somewhere around 500 lbs open with no problems but I think some recommend the wide bodied ones for stronger springs. I switched to HS rockers from the standard Doves and I run only about 450 lbs open since some of the Dove dealers state the standard rockers are only recommened to maybe somewhere less than 500 lbs or so (I think Dennis at DSC said good to about 400 lbs). Someone awhile ago posted some photos on the FE board of several broken standard Dove rockers which if I recall correctly happened to someone on the road who wasn't using killer springs. That kind of scared me and prompted me to switch. But I guess if you don't have any problems with your rockers at over 600 lbs I might have over reacted and could just have stuck with my Doves. Good luck and have fun with your new engine.
