Bravo!
Yeah, not sure how much more an aluminum one would have been, but not a biggie really. Critical speed is a little lower but still better than that old shaft.

Someone needs to come out with a shallow crank pulley for crank trigger wheel setups. Having to shim all the pulleys is a game killer for many if not most.

Is there a witness mark in the hole? I wonder if it's actually hitting the body/fulcrum area and not the hole? Maybe the pushrod is too long for the PRW rockers?

I know many have had issues with the roller-tip only rockers, be it PRW or Comp, maybe it's inherent?
