Adding Bronze Bushings to Ductile Iron Rockers

JedIEG said

Oh I'm not throwing unbushed rockers on an engine. I see enough galling elsewhere to not want it on my personal stuff.
I just need to calculate if the rocker price tag plus, w5 head price, plus aggravation of dealing with the used market vs trying to get the RPMs I have to do the job I want with off the shelf new rockers.

I wasn't callin you out, just those arguing against it. Yeah, millions have run fine unbushed. But it just doesn't make a lot of sense starting a ground floor build that may have a good bit of spring pressure to run unbushed rockers. ....well at least to me. IMO, bushings are superior to needle bearing rockers as they have a greater contact area and no needles to let go in the engine. Sounds like you got a good handle on it.
