I've done it many times, but not for a full roller rocker, only a bushed rocker with high spring pressure. You must be running the highly recommended Harland Sharps I've heard about.

How are you doing the full time oiling mod? The crossover tube doesn't provide full time oiling to the rocker shafts. When done properly, a restrictor much smaller than 1/8" will be needed. Somewhere in the .040-.060" range is where it should be. You'll have to start small, and work your way up.

Opinions vary on the crossover mod. It has its benefits when done properly, (not like the Mopar book says to do it), and I use it when the application needs it. Not usually on a street motor unless the customer insists. If you've already done it, it won't hurt a thing.
