I did a Google search on them and came up with a different URL which also is
bad. HOWEVER, several other sites give them rather glowing reviews. If
anyone is interested, their vitals are:

Rocker Arm Specialists
19841 Hirsch Street
Anderson, CA 96007
Phone: (916) 378-1075

One poster did state that even when their web site worked, it was always
better to call them.

Don't know why it does not work John....  The name of the company is Rocker
Arm Specialists in Anderson CA.  I could not get the URL to work either.

That appears to be a bad URL

I have 1.65 roller rockers on my car....stock valve cover is not a
problem....

However, you need to be careful with the geometry of the pushrods.  With the
larger ratios, the angle and deflection of the pushrods can cause them to
rub against their respective holes in the head.   I had my roller rockers
made in California by a firm ( www.rockerarms.com ) that had an old Healy
head around and they altered the rockers somewhat to allow for this.  I also
went with longer moly pushrods (shorter tappets) to reduce the pushrod angle
and deflection.
