Just asking cause I have the SE Forged rocker plate. So I have a interest.
And S&S roller tips.

Are you actually getting measured wear or you getting more and more noise?
If more noise, get Woods Lifters. They work.

By the way mine no wear since I last looked a few K's ago. Maybe, last winter.

Except for movement of the whole plate or restricted oil flo or bad wore out shafts wonder why there would be wear?

Just when I though I had it all figured out. Oh well.
