Lightbulb Few Chevy's Use Roller or Roller Tips - Engines ?

I have installed a few Sets in My Time .. on Different Motors .

I certainly Know there are Better ones and Poor Quality Ones . I Guess it comes down to Materials & Workmanship .

I took a Stock Set out of a 265 V8 - Wow were those Thin Sheet Metal
I Installed a Set of those $89.00 Roller Tips - Got a Nice Vacuum Boost
immediately Motor was Smoother ..

I'm Currently Reviewing Comp Cam - Magnum Roller Tips 1.52's
Cost More and Supposedly Higher Grade Materials and Workmen-Ship .

Well this Ship - Must have Sailed - without the Boss on Broad - they were Missing there Good Morning - Inspection - Unannounced Visit !


First Up - Roller Tips arrived in Box - just Dumped Into . ( What's Up ) ?
Second Up - Noticed S1 & S2 Stamping Mark - this is most likely
2 Dies , so What the Hey - Mix Parts from 2 Different Die Stamping's
( Not Good Practice )

Third : Found 2 with Burrs - see Photo's
