Hum... They must have went to crap cause I used a set on a 418 build that sat nice and flat unlike the ones Mike pictured. Used a pretty stout solid cam and 350 spring pressure over the nose and 4-1/2 yrs. later their still going strong.
VERY anxious to here the results of this. Thank you for making the inquiry.PRW is looking into this problem as we speak...

Thanks for checking with PRW. I would be very curious to know what "they took care of it" means. Did they call in any and all suspect dealer stock to check and correct it or is the buyer still taking a huge chance of getting a bad set? Also wondering (although certainly not your responsibility) if you mentioned the problems that a major builder like Mike was having with no call backs or response. Maybe they should log on here and explain the situation in more detail. I would really like to be able to order their product with confidence.Shaun at PRW tells me they had a run of rockers that were not true from the roller tip to the bushing they ride on such as MRL showed in the above pic...they say they took care of it.

I was told they sent him more rockers and he said they were also bad and that was the last communication...I don't know what actually happened, and I prefer to stay out of that!
I use and sell these rockers and have not seen these problems, so I'm just giving my experience here using them...I certainly understand both sides and choose not to take sides as I've been where Mike is a few times.
I have used the PRW alloy rockers and not had the problem Mike had. I did have trouble with the adjusting screw cups not receding into the rocker body as they should. I received excellent customer service in getting replacements for the defective rockers.
Since that time I have tried the Comp Cams ProMagnum shaft mounted rockers with Hughes Engines hold down kits and ran a 1.57" diameter spring. Even though that combination is a little more expensive, if I'm going to use a non-aluminum, non-roller fulcrum, I'll be using the Comp/Hughes combination.
Brian used them on my 410 and tho they are a little noisy at times the only problem I have had in the 25k KM I have on them is 1 of the adjusters chipped a little on the edge , it would be nice if I could just buy a replacement without buying a whole lifter but it doesn't hurt anything as it is so it can wait until the refresh happens sometime in the next 25k km .
Then simply choose a cam with the lift that you would have had with 1.6
