Default Anyone used these cheap roller rockers ???? KcIntl. $100 shipped

Only $100 shipped tyd. Any one used these rollers? Scared they are garbage from China but then again it’s not rocket science, it’s a pretty simple part. If they are forged from a good material and the heat treat is right that is, lol. Still super scared. Going in dragrace engine with woods tw68 cam and his w200 springs.
if they are garbage then what’s the proven, bullet proof (as much as possible) brand to use? I would think s&s but have no experience in this matter so I’m asking

The cheap may become the expensive!

They are the "strongest on the market today", so what could possibly go wrong?

With all the money you save, you can buy a crate motor for when they frag yours.

Link now says they are $299. Which is 1/2 The price of S&S...So they must be 2 times as good as S&S. And they are magical because they work on touring twin cams ‘99 through ‘17. And their ad says :
  • These rocker arms are the strongest on the market today
  • High quality product
So, they must be good.

if you buy them, I’d suggest getting one of those clutch scatter blankets they put on dragsters, and wrap it around the motor.
