It was about mid 2015 that Cliff reported the issues with the stainless PRW's. Since then both PRW and their resellers pass the problem off as being resolved. Just wondering when vicgto purchased his PRW rockers? If the purchase was way after this and from a seller that would replenish inventory pretty often, then there is still an on-going issue.

Yep.

I love the Crower stainless rocker arms, but here's the current problem:

(Yeah, I know Butler has them cheaper but I'm going for the effect)

My issue with them, if you noticed the estimated delivery time, isn't till December and that's not a guarantee either. The wait is what killed them for me right now. I was told possibly 6-7 months when I called 4-5 months ago, now it says December LOL

Just by the Comps in FJs link. 320$ for a quality USA steel rocker is a great deal. Doubt you could hurt them. And they are in stock.
And cheaper than the PRWs.
Just wish they came in 1.5 ratio too.
