just replaces your normal rockers with a bearing "roller" tip, and it also has a bearing shaft for mounting it, less wear, less friction on the motor

Re: roller rockers?

There are actually 2 different types of them.
"Roller-tip" rocker arms are just that. They only have the roller bearing surface where they touch the tip of the valve. They retain the original "ball" at the fulcrum.
"Full-roller" style have roller bearings at both points.

Just to further clarify, these are internal engine parts that are part of the valve-train

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
