I've seen a LOT of the Comp roller tip rockers get hot enough to turn the bodies blue. This comes from a poor fit between the rocker balls and rocker bodies, and using grooved balls in them which reduces contact area.
Since the poor fit creates heat and grinds thing up some, it also puts metal into the assembly till they wear in. For this reason I don't like or use them.
The grooved rocker balls can be replaced with solid ones, then hand lapped into the bodies for a better fit, but after all the work you still don't have a full roller rocker, which can be had for a few dollars more per set than the roller tipped ones.....Cliff
