You could but the rockers I am remembering were the PRW stainless, which are already bushed. It'd be nice if they got it right the first time.i guess you could cure that if bushing them though?

Must have been pure luck because thinking back... I do remember the talk about them scoring and galing the shafts... I had also had the induction hardened shafts from Dvorak from when I was running the needle bearing rockers in 2005... I came across a set of comps in Murietta that were like brand new with shafts for two hundred bucks. When I went to use them first on a solid flat tap it....they fit a little bit loose on the shafts so I decided to use the induction hardened shafts that fit much nicer and weren't sloppy ...I'd say they're at least 3/8 wall shafts. They take a tiny core plug. To this day they still look brand new ...best damn rocker shafts I've ever bought in my life.In the instances I’ve seen them be a problem, it’s been one rocker welding itself to the shaft.
The other 15 are still perfect......... as well as the shafts, in the other 15 positions.
It also took a period of time before they had an issue.
A couple of seasons of regular bracket racing.
The first one I chalked up to “**** happens”, after the second one(different engine), I decided I wouldn’t be running them with roller cams anymore.
The third one was being run with a SFT cam with beehive springs, and had seen a lot of racing and probably 10k street miles before it had an issue.
I blamed that one on the oil.
