Well, let me comment on broken roll pins. If they just twist off and spin you are lucky. I had a rash of bad rebuilt distributors from a supplier and 3 out of 6 broke on various motors over a years time, and of those 3, 2 put the pin into the gear an destroyed a cam too.

Now, does that apply here? Maybe in support of a stock shaft, but I honestly support your original idea. It just doesnt matter that much. I use a fancy one in my 489, but I have never used anything but Melling stockers with each rebuild and never had an issue

I do like the fancy ones though, and for the price, it sure doesnt hurt anything.
