If aluminum rockers are an advantage in your BAE, just understand that they may need periodic replacement before you reach the fatigue limit.

There I a major benefit to going with the T&D rockers over the BAE steel ones...
It has nothing to do with the material.... it's a design issue...
BAE rockers don't oil on a cold start... we have to literally oil the rockers if the engine is cold...
Putt the covers and oil... t&d has figured it out... no need for cold oiling...
The BAE rockers work only off of splash..
Been that way for 25 years..
Recently changed but the t&d 's were only 6k for 2 sets...
