Low friction engine components have benefits, at the tradeoff of a little noise. It's the "sound of power!"

Pistons are already cast...came that way stock:LOL:

Did you even click the link Greg? If so you'd see why I asked if he bought the $450 already done set or the do it yourself kit for $250 or so.:argg:

sure did, he sent two sets in to get the discount. They only charge $10 for the install. I thought about doing that also but just bought new rockers when the engine was built, instead.

Not trying ti hijack, but how would this compare to like the Scorpion rockers? I was planning on running a set on my next build.

Yes a little better, should free up a few ponys with less friction, If you dont have rockers and need some go for it.

Any durability issues with the Scorpions? I'm with Jon, if you're starting with a bare long block or a short block plus aftermarket heads and you have no rockers the full rollers might be worth it.

I see the major price difference is if they use new arms or your old ones converted. That really does look like a good deal for higher lift cams and to make it quieterest.

I wasn't really after making the valvetrain quieter, it just happened. I just wanted the assurance of not worrying about needle bearings in my motor..

my dad hates how his sounds stock... ill have to talk him into doin this and maybe doin mine too :D
