So how big a deal is it to install the roller rockers. This is different from roller lifters, obviously.
Where can I read all about it?

We run Roller Rocker Arms on my 320 and love them!!  I'm pretty sure Mel Asberry runs them as well.
The rocker arms are the same for 540, 360, and 320. The rockers come ready to install. They open .012 thousands more than the OEM. This is just right for the engine, makes a Smoother Idle and More Power. The BIG plus is pretty much eliminates wear on the valve guides.
Feed back will determine production... and 1000's of engines already flying with these Roller Rockers.
Email me if you have an interest.
Best,

I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN A SET OF ROLLER ROCKERS FOR MY IO-360 ANGLE VALVE THAT I WILL BE BUILDING SOON. THANK YOU! DENNIS MCCRIGHT 936-443-3562

If Walt gets a set and likes them, I'll probably not be too far behind.

When you say "more power", how much is that exactly? I'm guessing you can quantify it somehow. If the price is right, I would consider a set.

I've always thought that the concept of Roller Rockers make sense, but don't know why, if they are such a good answer, they aren't all over the place. If the ones you are talking about have field history, like they are the same design, materials, and specs as what Mel has, then they'd have some field history, and I'd look in to them.
If it's a brand new design, I'd probably let them get some field history/time on them before I'd want to put them in an engine that I was going to fly IFR (or over inhospitable terrain) - but then, I am pretty conservative when it comes to my only engine....
