I'm using them on my TR-4.  I've had to shorten them on the bench 
grinder to not hit the valve keeper, but they've caused not 
problems.  My car came with roller rockers and the Lash Caps, and it 
seemed like a good idea so I've continued to use them.  Seems like it 
would give a larger area for the roller tip to roll on.
